What does the Bible say about Jonah's calling?

Answered in 1 source

Jonah was called by God to preach to Nineveh, highlighting God's mercy and grace even towards His enemies.

The Book of Jonah, though classified among the minor prophets, is essentially an autobiographical account that reveals God's grace and providence. Jonah was called by God to arise and go to Nineveh to warn them of God's impending judgment because of their wickedness. However, Jonah's racial prejudices and unwillingness to see the Assyrians receive mercy led him to flee from this divine command. Jonah's story serves as an illustration of God's willingness to save, portraying how even a reluctant prophet like Jonah can be used by God to fulfill His redemptive purposes.
