Jonah 1:1-4

Jonah 1:1-4 CSB

The word of the LORD came to Jonah son of Amittai:  “Get up!  Go to the great city  of Nineveh  and preach against it  because their evil  has come up before me.”  Jonah got up to flee to Tarshish  from the LORD’s presence.  He went down  to Joppa  and found a ship going to Tarshish. He paid the fare and went down into it to go with them to Tarshish from the LORD’s presence. But the LORD threw  a great wind onto the sea,  and such a great storm arose on the sea that the ship threatened to break apart.
