One of the ironies in Jonah’s story is that he acts like the repentance of the great city is a failure. He’s converted a city in one day, with minimal effort. And these are not people who are “seekers,” but some of the most violent and sadistic conquerors the world has known. 

Jonah’s hopes and visions for success are dramatically different from God’s. Right to the end of his story, he never finds a way to get on the same page. He’s unable to see past his own expectations and disappointment to appreciate God’s work to redeem a city of thousands of people.
