What Jonah saw from his place of viewer was a merciful God of a repentant people and turned from his evil way, Jonah found a Creator who has within his prerogatives to have mercy on his creation, even as a Creator and Judge of Creation actually has no obligation to exercise mercy.

What Jonah did not find was: neither justification nor arguments to validate his anger at the mercy of God for Nineveh. Nor did he find justification or arguments to validate his anger at the death of a plant that he did not have the power to create or grow.

The lesson that Jonah received was very valuable, and so valuable is that God decides to translate it into a small book within the Bible for our own teaching and edification. Great message!
