God spoke to Jonah, son of Amittai: “Go to Nineveh, that great city. Tell its inhabitants that I am against them, because I have seen their wickedness.”

Dar Iona a vrut să fugă de Dumnezeu și să ajungă la Tarsis. A coborât la Iope, unde a găsit o corabie care pleca spre Tarsis. A plătit călătoria și s-a urcat în corabie, ca să plece cu marinarii departe de Dumnezeu.
