Shouldn't I be concerned for Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred twenty thousand persons who can't discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?"
"Every hearer/reader may have some Jonah in him or her. All need to reflect on the questions God asks, including the final, specific, ’Should I not spare Nineveh?’ (Jonah 4:11). Anyone who replies ’Why is that such an important question?’ has not understood the message. Anyone who replies ’No!’ has not believed it." [Note: Stuart, p. 435.]
