요나 3:1 주석: Abarbanel

The second prophecy begins with "And the Word of Gd came to Yonah a second time" until the end of the book and it has two sections The first begins her and the second with Gd asking Yonah "are you that deeply grieved". And I have six questions.

The first one. Yonah called out that in 40 days Ninveh would be overturned. But this never happened and we know that every word of prophecy is true. And if you say that it was a conditional prophecy that if they didn't repent like the conditional prophecy in Jeremiah 18:7-9 but the people of Ninveh were not Bnei Yisrael so they didn't know how to interpret a conditional prophecy so Yonah should've made the condition clear in his warning to them so that the Word of Gd would be vindicated and the words of the prophet would be made true and would teach people to repent.

The second question is about "It was bad for Yonah and distressed him" why was he so distressed. Didn't Yonah already know that they would do teshuva and that was why he ran away to Tarshish to begin with. And he already repented when he left the fish and he was prepared to help Ninveh repent so what changed here that made him so upset.
