Jonah 4:4 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry?

Then said the Lord, Doest thou well to be angry? - or grieved; margin, 'Art thou greatly, or much, angry,' or 'grieved?' (Fairbairn, with the Septuagint and the Syriac.) But the English version suits the spirit of the passage. The Hebrew х haheeyTeeb (H3190)], moreover, is nowhere used of a passion or quality existing (passively) in a strong degree. The margin is against the language (Pusey).
