Jonah is exceedingly angry that Nineveh was spared and admits that he fled because he knew the LORD was gracious, merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness. The LORD uses a gourd, a worm, and a hot east wind to expose Jonah’s distorted compassion: Jonah pities a plant he did not make, while God has compassion on a great city full of people and cattle.
