Jonah 1:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Jonah 1:2

Jonah’s Disobedience

1 Now the word of the Lord came to ^aJonah the son of Amittai, saying,

2 “Arise, go to ^aNineveh, that ^bgreat city, and cry out against it; for ^ctheir wickedness has come up before Me.”

3 But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. He went down to ^aJoppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid the fare, and went down into it, to go with them to ^bTarshish ^cfrom the presence of the Lord.

The Storm at Sea

4 But ^athe Lord sent out a great wind on the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea, so that the ship was about to be broken up.

5 Then the mariners were afraid; and every man cried out to his god, and threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea, to lighten¹ the load. But Jonah had gone down ^ainto the lowest parts of the ship, had lain down, and was fast asleep.
