Jon 4, 1-11

1 And Jonah was afflicted with a great affliction, and he was angry. 2 And he prayed to the Lord, and he said, “I beg you, Lord, was this not my word, when I was still in my own land? Because of this, I knew beforehand to flee into Tarshish. For I know that you are a lenient and merciful God, patient and great in compassion, and forgiving despite ill will. 3 And now, Lord, I ask you to take my life from me. For it is better for me to die than to live.” 4 And the Lord said, “Do you really think you are right to be angry?” 5 And Jonah went out of the city, and he sat opposite the east of the city. And he made himself a shelter there, and he was sitting under it in the shadow, until he might see what would befall the city. 6 And the Lord God prepared an ivy, and it ascended over the head of Jonah so as to be a shadow over his head, and to protect him (for he had labored hard). And Jonah rejoiced because of the ivy, with great rejoicing. 7 And God prepared a worm, when dawn approached on the next day, and it struck the ivy, and it dried up. 8 And when the sun had risen, the Lord ordered a hot and burning wind. And the sun beat down on the head of Jonah, and he burned. And he petitioned for his soul that he might die, and he said, “It is better for me to die than to live.” 9 And the Lord said to Jonah, “Do you really think that you are right to be angry because of the ivy?” And he said, “I am right to be angry even unto death.” 10 And the Lord said, “You grieve for the ivy, for which you have not labored and which you did not cause to grow, though it had been born during one night, and during one night perished. 11 And shall I not spare Nineveh, the great city, in which there are more than one hundred and twenty thousand men, who do not know the difference between their right and their left, and many beasts?”

Verš 2

And he prayed to the Lord, and he said, “I beg you, Lord, was this not my word, when I was still in my own land? Because of this, I knew beforehand to flee into Tarshish. For I know that you are a lenient and merciful God, patient and great in compassion, and forgiving despite ill will.

Ex 34:6 - And as he was crossing before him, he said: “The Ruler, the Lord God, merciful and lenient, patient and full of compassion and also truthful,

Joe 2:13 - And rend your hearts, and not your garments, and convert to the Lord your God. For he is gracious and merciful, patient and full of compassion, and steadfast despite ill will.

Jon 4,2 - Pozri pozn. k 1,3.

Jon 4,3 - Podobnú žiadosť vyslovil aj prorok Eliáš, 1 Kr 19,4 n.

Jon 4,4 - Boh chce, aby Jonáš uvažoval a sám prišiel na to, že sa neprávom hnevá.

Jon 4,6 - Ricínus (Ricinus communis) je ker, ktorý rastie v Egypte, Sýrii, Perzii, v západnej a južnej Anatolii (Malej Ázii) a Grécku. Je 1 až 4 m vysoký, má široké listy, ktoré dávajú dobrý tieň. Rýchlo rastie, ale aj rýchlo vädne. Pritom všetkom je však prípad Jonášovho ricínu zázračný, lebo prirodzeným spôsobom ricín predsa len nerastie a nehynie tak rýchlo ako tento.
