Jonah

God instructed Jonah to preach in Nineveh, but Jonah fled by ship, causing a storm that led to him being thrown into the sea and swallowed by a great fish. From inside the fish, Jonah prayed to God, expressing his distress and acknowledging God's power, and was eventually vomited onto dry land. Jonah then obeyed God's second command to preach in Nineveh, warning the city of destruction, and the people repented, leading God to spare the city. However, Jonah was angry and prayed for death, believing God's mercy was unjust, and God rebuked him for grieving over a destroyed ivy plant while showing no compassion for the people of Nineveh, emphasizing His own mercy towards the city and its inhabitants.
