For sinful as he is, Jonah does not weep and wail for direct deliverance.

He feels that his dreadful punishment is just.

He leaves all his deliverance to God, contenting himself with this, that spite of all his pains and pangs, he will still look towards His holy temple.

And here, shipmates, is true and faithful repentance; not clamorous for pardon, but grateful for punishment.

And how pleasing to God was this conduct in Jonah, is shown in the eventual deliverance of him from the sea and the whale.
