Sermon Title: Deep Service (Jonah 3:1-4:1)
Jonah 3:1-4:1
3:1 And there was the word of Adonai for Jonah a second time, saying,
2 “Get up! Go to Nineveh, the great city! And call out to her the calling that I have been speaking to you.”
3 So Jonah did get up—and he went to Nineveh according to the word of Adonai. Nineveh was a great city to God, a three-days’ walk,
4 but Jonah began to enter the city for a one-day’s walk. He called out and said, “Another forty days and Nineveh will be overthrown!”
5 The people of Nineveh believed God, and they called a fast and dressed in sack-cloth—from their great ones to their least ones.
6 When the word reached the king of Nineveh, he got up from his throne, removed his robe from upon him, covered up in sack-cloth, and sat among the ashes.
7 He had it cried out and spoken in Nineveh, according to the tastes of the king and his great ones: “Person, cattle, herd, flock—they shall not taste anything; they shall not be fed, nor drink water. 8 Let them be covered with sack-cloth—person and cattle—and let them call out to God with all their might. Let each turn back from his evil path, and from the violence that is in their hands. 9 Who knows? God may turn back and repent, indeed, turn back from the burning of his anger, and we may not be lost.”
10 God saw what they did, that they turned back from their evil path, and God relented from the evil that he had spoken of doing to them, and did not do it.
4:1 But this was evil to Jonah, a great evil—and it enflamed him.
