1 And the word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying:
2 Rise and go to Nineveh, the great city, and preach in it. For its malice has ascended before my eyes.
3 And Jonah rose in order to flee from the face of the Lord to Tarshish. And he went down to Joppa and found a ship bound for Tarshish. And he paid its fare, and he went down into it, in order to go with them to Tarshish from the face of the Lord.
4 But the Lord sent a great wind into the sea. And a great tempest took place in the sea, and the ship was in danger of being crushed.
