What does the Bible say about Jonah's mission?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible describes Jonah's mission as a direct command from God to go to Nineveh and call the people to repentance due to their wickedness (Jonah 1:2).

In Jonah 1:2, God explicitly commands Jonah to arise and go to Nineveh, the great city, to preach against its wickedness. This mission signifies God's concern for all nations, including those outside of Israel, and illustrates the universal nature of God's call to repentance. Jonah's reluctance and eventual flight to Tarshish reveal his struggles with God's mercy extended to a people he disliked, highlighting the broader theme of God's sovereignty in reaching even the most rebellious.
