God speaks to Jonah, son of Amittai: “Get up and go to Nineveh, that great city. Speak out against the evil deeds of its people, because I have seen them.”
Ma Giona vuole fuggire lontano da Dio. Scende a Giaffa e trova una nave che va a Tarsis. Paga il viaggio e sale sulla nave per partire con i marinai.
But Jonah wants to run far away from God. He goes down to Joppa and finds a ship sailing to Tarshish. He pays for the trip and boards the ship to leave with the sailors.
