Jonah 4:2

Estude

       

2 He prayed to Yahweh, and said, "Please, Yahweh, wasn't this what I said when I was still in my own country? Therefore I hurried to flee to Tarshish, for I knew that you are a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and you relent of doing harm.

Jehovah

  

The Lord, in the simplest terms, is love itself expressed as wisdom itself. In philosophic terms, love is the Lord's substance and wisdom is His form. Of course, we feel the Lord's love and hear His wisdom in many different ways, depending on our state in life and how receptive we are. That's why the Lord has so many different names in the Bible, and is referred to in so many different ways.

10440. 'Turn back from the heat of Your anger' means that if He does so that nation's turning away will not be harmful. This is clear from the meaning of 'the heat of anger', when it has reference to Jehovah, as a turning away on man's part, dealt with above in 10431, so that 'turning back from the heat of anger' means that the turning away will not be harmful. What this implies is evident from what has been stated and shown in the explanations previous to this.
