Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jonah 1:6

_ _ call upon thy God — The ancient heathen in dangers called on foreign gods, besides their national ones (compare Psalms 107:28). Maurer translates the preceding clause, “What is the reason that thou sleepest?”

_ _ think upon us — for good (compare Genesis 8:1; Exodus 2:25; Exodus 3:7, Exodus 3:9; Psalms 40:17).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jonah 1:4-10.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jonah 1:6

Will think upon us — With pity and favour.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Jonah 1:6

So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy (h) God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not.

(h) As they had called on their idols, which declares that idolaters have no rest nor certainty, but in their troubles seek what they do not even know.
