Jonah's explanation to the Lord for resisting His first call teaches us that God is
Quick to anger
Not sincere in His call
Repentant of evil
Not ready to act fast
Correct answer is C
Jonah was initially resistant to God's call to go to Nineveh because he feared that God, being merciful, would forgive the Ninevites if they repented. Jonah wanted God to punish Nineveh for their evil ways. However, God's response and eventual forgiveness of Nineveh after their repentance show His willingness to turn away from bringing evil upon them when they changed their ways.
Jonah 4- 1-2 (RSV)
But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry. 2 And he prayed to the Lord and said, “I pray thee, Lord, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that thou art a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love, and repentest of evil.
