Jonah is angry that all the people that did terrible things did not get punished. If we got punished for all the terrible things we do none of us would exist! Be thankful for Gods grace! To God there is no big or small sin it is all sin and it is all forgivable.

Yes Jonah was unhappy they didn't get punished but she would be lucky. And Jonah should be thinking about himself- he went against God and still saved him how is he worse then Nineveh?
Are all sins equal? Or because he ran from God compared to what the people of Nineveh.
God is a loving copassionate God who cares for his people and does over mercy and grace.
Isn't it hard for us to look at people that do wrong and see they not getting punished. It's so hard for us to see this- that we think cuz we do good but don't get it all.
Then God shows him an example of this with the plant and what God did and what he can do. We can get mad but God still has a plan for those people even if living in darkness we need to care for them.

In the beginning of the chapter it talks about those who worship fake idols are putting Gods mercy for them in trouble. Jonah finally realizes that running away from God is not the way to handle things. You can't even run away from God!! There is no way! Jonah repents from "trying" to run away from God. He will do what God instructs him to do. Jonah says something all of us have said one time or another. "Lord I will do whatever you want me to do"-he realizes that he should stop resisting and pay God his vows. Salvation is of the Lord. God has saved and will save everyone if you accept! Jonah's salvation is of the Lord. Salvation is not a race, nation, or language-None of this is salvation of the Lord if that makes sense.
