Then God asked Jonah, "What right do you have to be angry over this plant?" Jonah answered, "I have every right to be angry-so angry that I want to die." (Jonah 4:9; GW)
“Jonah is an example of how the character of a good & a great man can be marred by anger & his usefulness wasted. His story suggests the folly, the danger & the injury of anger.
Anger is one of the most common sins, yet one of the most dangerous & injurious to the peace & well-being of man. More than any other sin, it blasts the flower of friendship, destroys peace & concord in the home, incites to crime & violence & turns love & affection into hatred.” (moreillustrations.com)
