But the LORD sent out a great wind on the sea, and there was a mighty storm on the sea, so that the ship was likely to break up.

The LORD prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

"Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and proclaim to it the message that I give you."

So Jonah arose, and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, three days' journey across.
