The city Jonah did not want to go to was Nineveh.
The city of Nineveh
The Lord told Jonah to go to the city of Nineveh. The Lord wanted Jonah to tell the people of Nineveh that they were doing bad things---things against God.
Jonah did not want to go to ninevah as God had instructed him. Was angry even though the whole city repented.
Jonah's relationship with God was complex. While Jonah initially tried to flee from God's instructions, he eventually obeyed and carried out his mission to Nineveh. Despite Jonah's struggles and doubts, God showed mercy and forgiveness, illustrating His compassion towards Jonah and all humanity.
Jonah's dilemma in the story was that he was called by God to preach to the people of Nineveh, a city known for its wickedness, but he didn't want to because he didn't think they deserved God's mercy. He tried to flee from God's command by boarding a ship, which ultimately led to him being swallowed by a big fish.
