Jonah 1:2-4

Modern English Version

² “Get up, go to Nineveh, the great city, and cry out against it, because their wickedness has come up before Me.”

³ But Jonah got up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. He went down to Joppa and found there a ship going to Tarshish. He paid its fare and went down into it to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord.

⁴ But the Lord hurled a great wind upon the sea, and a mighty storm came upon the sea, so that the ship was in danger of breaking up.
