       Jonah 4:4-5
       KJV 4 Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry? 5 So
       Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the
       city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the
       shadow, till he might see what would become of the city.
       WEB 4 Yahweh said, “Is it right for you to be angry?”
       5 Then Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side
       of the city, and there made himself a booth, and sat under it in
       the shade, until he might see what would become of the city.
       These are my thoughts, please share yours.
       4 Jonah didn’t have a right to be angry. What I think of is the
       contrast of Jonah and Abraham. Abraham wanted God to save Sodom
       so the people weren’t judged but Jonah did not want Nineveh
       saved. Jonah didn’t want the people to turn to God. Jonah was
       angry because God was merciful and loving to people Jonah hated.
       Do we ever act this way towards people who come to the Lord? The
       prodigal son’s brother acted this same way.
       5 Jonah was still waiting for God to destroy the city, Jonah
       wanted to see it so he sets up a spot to see it. Jonah no longer
       was being used by God now and I believe it was become of his
       attitude, our attitude will prevent us from being further used.
