Jonah 1:2

Jonah Disobeys Yahweh

¹ Now the word of Yahweh came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, ² "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach against it, for their wickedness has come up before me." ³ But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of Yahweh. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid its fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of Yahweh.
