God speaks, we respond
Jonah heard a specific instruction from God (get up and go) with a clear justification (because I have seen how wicked its people are). Then he went the other direction. How often do we do the same? God speaks to us clearly and we do something else. Either we judge that we can't really do what God has asked or we, like Jonah, look at the possible end result and decide we don't want what God wants (4:2).
