Jonah 3:2

"Get up and go to Nineveh [Mosul in present-day Iraq], the great city, and cry out (Hebr. qara) [preach] against it, what I have spoken to you."
[Verses 1-3a are similar to Jonah 1:1–3, with one major difference—Jonah's response. In the first call, he fled to Tarshish; in the second, he goes to Nineveh. The almost verbatim repetition also shows the Lord's desire to reach Nineveh with the prophetic warning. God does his utmost to give all people the opportunity to repent, despite his own prophet's disobedience. There are several parallels in these two episodes. In both cases, Jonah is among pagans (the sailors on the boat and the inhabitants of Nineveh). Both stories recount dialogues and many details, the pagans respond to the prophet's words, their leaders (the captain and the king) actively participate in the repentance, and God saves them. Sadly, on both occasions Jonah seems uninvolved, absent, and unwilling to obey God.]
