1 And the word of Yahweh came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
2 “Get up! Go to the great city Nineveh and cry out against her, because their evil has come up before me.”
3 But Jonah set out to flee toward Tarshish from the presence of Yahweh. And he went down to Joppa and found a merchant ship going to Tarshish, and paid her fare, and went on board her to go with them toward Tarshish from the presence of Yahweh.
4 And Yahweh hurled a great wind upon the sea, and it was a great storm on the sea, and the merchant ship was in danger of breaking up.
