-Does God permit a prophet to say, ''"I did something wrong personally and that is why the vision did not come to pass"''?  There is no example in scripture that suggests that this is the case.
+Does God permit a prophet to say, ''"I did something wrong personally and that is why the vision did not come to pass"''?  There is no example in scripture that suggests that this is the case.  It certainly was not the case with Jonah.
 There is only one exception for a prophesy not to be fulfilled – and this involves repentance by the person (or nation) being judged.  If it was acceptable for one prophet to say "Oops! I made a personal mistake, and that’s why the vision was not fulfilled," then every false prophet would claim this easy-out excuse.  For this reason, the Word of God only permits one explanation for a failed vision, because repentance satisfies the wrath of God.  That is why Ezekiel says, ''“Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.”'' (Ezekiel 18:30)
