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.
