Jonah is portrayed as a character whom his readers would never wish to imitate--nearly his every move is satirized and shown to be a failing. This, of course, despite the fact that he is a prophet.
--Daniel C. Timmer, A Gracious and Compassionate God: Mission, Salvation and Spirituality in the Book of Jonah (New Studies in Biblical Theology; Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity, 2011), 147.
