“The Lord said [to Jonah], ‘You have had pity on the plant for which you have not labored, nor made it grow, which came up in a night and perished in a night. And should I not pity Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than 120,000 persons who cannot discern between their right hand and their left—and much livestock?’” [1]
“For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive,
And abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You.
For great is Your mercy toward me,
And You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.
You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious,
Long-suffering and abundant in mercy and truth.
Show me a sign for good,
That those who hate me may see it and be ashamed,
Because You, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.” [2]

[2] Psalm 86:5, 13, 15, 17
