For he said to God,
"I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters. I will praise you among your assembled people."
Hebrews 2:12
Then the Lord said, "You feel sorry about the plant, though you did nothing to put it there. It came quickly and died quickly. But Nineveh has more than 120,000 people living in spiritual darkness, not to mention all the animals. Shouldn't I feel sorry for such a great city?"
Jonah 4:10-11
We give great honor to those who endure under suffering. For instance, you know about Job, a man of great endurance. You can see how the Lord was kind to him at the end, for the Lord is full of tenderness and mercy.
James 5:11
Lord, though we are the recipients of your"compassion and mercy," our opinions about Ninevites/others often disregard your view of them. Stir us and teach us to see with your heart of compassion and mercy. Amen.
