The book of Jonah tells of Jonah's prophetic mission to Nineveh, the capital city of the Assyrian Empire, which at the time was the arch enemy of the Israel. The moral of the story is that God cares about all people, not just the chosen people of Israel, but everyone. This story serves to put limits on the doctrine of chosenness.

What did God use to illustrate to Jonah His compassion for the people of Nineveh?

At the end of the book of Jonah, Jonah retreats from Nineveh and waits for God to destroy it in the shelter of a fast-growing and fast dying vine. Jonah is mad that God doesn't destroy the city, and deeply regrets the death of the vine. God makes that into a parable -- "You regret the death of the vine you didn't plant and didn't tend. Can I not value the lives of these people?" Jonah is a delightfully subversive book. Recall that to Jonah, Nineveh was the capital city of the empire that was the mortal enemy of Israel. The statement that God cares about the people of Nineveh enough to send them a prophet and allow them to repent goes against any excessive belief that, as the chosen people, Israel has somehow an exclusive right to God's protection.
