³ And he ^[a]was afraid, and got up and ran for his ^[b]life and came to ^(A)Beersheba, which belongs to Judah; and he left his servant there. ⁴ But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree; and ^(B)he asked for himself to die, and said, “Enough! Now, Lord, take my ^[c]life, for I am no better than my fathers.”

² “Arise, go to ^(A)Nineveh, the great city, and ^(B)cry out against it, because their ^(C)wickedness has come up before Me.” ³ But Jonah got up to flee to ^(D)Tarshish ^(E)from the presence of the Lord. So he went down to ^(F)Joppa, found a ship that was going to Tarshish, paid the fare, and ^[a]boarded it to go with them to Tarshish away from the presence of the Lord.
