The prophet who ran from God, got fish'd, and still pouted when Nineveh repented
open_in_newGod told him to go preach to Nineveh (Israel's enemy). He went the other direction, got thrown overboard in a storm, swallowed by a giant fish, prayed from inside the fish, got spit out, finally went to Nineveh, preached the shortest sermon ever — and the entire city repented. Then Jonah got angry that God showed mercy. The book ends with God asking Jonah why he cares more about a plant than 120,000 people.
