1 And the word of Yahweh came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, ² “Get up! Go to the great city Nineveh and cry out against her, because their evil has come up before me.”^{[a] 3} But Jonah set out to flee toward Tarshish from the presence of^[b] Yahweh. And he went down to Joppa and found a merchant ship going to Tarshish, and paid her fare, and went on board her to go with them toward Tarshish from the presence of^[c] Yahweh.
