Description

Jonah lies overcome on the rocky ground outside the city, shielding his face from the burning sun as the desert heat presses down on him. His raised arm, strained expression, and collapsed posture show the prophet at the moment of exhaustion after his anger over Nineveh’s mercy has left him exposed and faint. The barren hillside emphasizes the harsh lesson God gives Jonah: the prophet grieves over his own discomfort while God reveals compassion for a great city in need of repentance. This artwork is suited for teaching on Jonah 4, prophetic obedience, divine mercy, repentance, and the contrast between human resentment and the Lord’s patience.

Scriptures	Acts 9:3-4 Jonah 4:1-4 Jonah 4:5-8 Jonah 4:9-11 Acts 9 3 Now as he went on his way, he approached Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. 4 And falling to the ground he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?” Jonah 4 1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry. 2 And he prayed to the LORD and said, “O LORD, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from disaster. 3 Therefore now, O LORD, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live.” 4 And the LORD said, “Do you do well to be angry?” Jonah 4 5 Jonah went out of the city and sat to the east of the city and made a booth for himself there. He sat under it in the shade, till he should see what would become of the city. 6 Now the LORD God appointed a plant and made it come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to save him from his discomfort. So Jonah was exceedingly glad because of the plant. 7 But when dawn came up the next day, God appointed a worm that attacked the plant, so that it withered. 8 When the sun rose, God appointed a scorching east wind, and the sun beat down on the head of Jonah so that he was faint. And he asked that he might die and said, “It is better for me to die than to live.” Jonah 4 9 But God said to Jonah, “Do you do well to be angry for the plant?” And he said, “Yes, I do well to be angry, angry enough to die.” 10 And the LORD said, “You pity the plant, for which you did not labor, nor did you make it grow, which came into being in a night and perished in a night. 11 And should not I pity Nineveh, that great city, in which there are more than 120,000 persons who do not know their right hand from their left, and also much cattle?”
