Jonah doesn't want to go to Nineveh because he fears the city's wickedness and is reluctant to deliver God's message of impending judgment. He is also concerned that, if the people of Nineveh repent, God might show them mercy and spare them, which contradicts Jonah's desire for justice against their wrongdoings. Additionally, Jonah struggles with the idea of preaching to a foreign nation, reflecting his prejudice and nationalistic feelings. This leads him to attempt to flee from God's command.
