• Jonah, when imprisoned within the fish, said, “I am cast out of Thy sight” (Jonah 2:4). Surely he had no ground for complaint in this respect, seeing that he fled to Tarshish expressly to get away from the presence of Jehovah! He even told the shipmen that this was the meaning of his voyage in their vessel (ch. 1:3,10). Possibly Jonah familiar as he was with the Book of Psalms, had in mind David's words in Psalm 31:22, “I am cut off from before Thine eyes,” but David said this in haste! (“Grace to the Fallen” by W.W. Fereday)
• Three times in chapter one we read about Jonah fleeing from the presence of Jehovah; but this is a very different thing. As long as he had his own free choice, Jonah fled from the presence of Jehovah, or sought to do so. Now, alone in the darkness and horror of his awful grave, Jonah said, “I am cast out from before Thine eyes.” He had gotten, so he believed, away from the presence of Jehovah at last, he had found the place he was seeking, but oh, how awful was that place! This was not Jonah deliberately leaving Jehovah, as he fully intended doing; this was, as he thought, Jehovah deliberately leaving him. (“Jonah 2: Jonah Prays” by G.C. Willis)
• 2 Chron. 6:38-39. It was on the ground of words such as these that Jonah had authority from the Lord Himself to count on the mercy of God to forgive his sin and deliver him. (“Jonah 2: Jonah Prays” by G.C. Willis)
