“And he said unto them, I am an Hebrew; and I fear the Lord, the God of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry land.”
Jonah's response that he is a Hebrew who fears the LORD God of heaven who made the sea and the dry land indicates Jonah's confession of faith and recognition of the LORD as creator. The identification as one who fears the LORD creates irony, as Jonah's actions contradict his stated faith.
