Jonah 3:1,2 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Reader! I pray you observe the grace and condescension of the Lord in again calling Jonah to this service. Was it because the Lord had no other servant to employ? that is impossible. But because the Lord will send by whom he will send. Methinks here is a sweet and gracious lesson for ministers. How condescending is it in the Lord to employ any; and more especially such as have before slighted, or run from his service, and done the work of the Lord negligently, Malachi 1:13-14.

Jonah 3:1-2

1 And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying,

2 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.
