Matthew Poole and continuators on Jonah 4:1

1 BUT it displeased Jonah exceedingly , and he was very angry .

And Heb.

The Divine forbearance sparing the great and sinful Nineveh.

Was very unagreeable to Ionah's hasty and fierce temper, to his love of his own credit, and it afflicted him to see Nineveh survive the forty dayes limited for their continuance.

'Twas a great affliction to him, so highly distemper'd is Ionah at Gods Goodness to a repenting City.

This kindled a fire in his Breast which was made up of Envy, Indignation and Grief, for that it was not done, and desire that yet it may be done. Ionah would yet have Nineveh a Sacrifice to God's Justice and an eternal Monument of his Truth who foretold it's Ruine.
