...a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness....

 "...should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than six score thousand persons that

cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle? (Jonah 4:11).

..Against thee, thee ONLY, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight (PS 51:4) 

Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?  (Jonah 3: 9 )

And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said

that he would do unto them; and he did it not. (Jonah 3:10 )
 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.

And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.

 
Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.
Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry?
So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city.

And the LORD God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief.

So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd.

But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.
 And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.

And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death.
Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night:

And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than six score thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?

So likewise shall my heavenly FATHER DO also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.   (Matt18:35)

   Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the FATHER DO: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
