Charles Spurgeon Commentary Jonah 2:4

"And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes; Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple." — Jonah 2:4 (ASV)

What grand faith Job displayed when he said, "Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him;" and here is another splendid manifestation of faith, " 'I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.' " If God does not look at me, I will still look towards the place where he dwells. As I am being flung away from him, I will give one more look towards his holy temple.
