Jonah 1:1-3
New International Version
Jonah Flees From the Lord
1 The word of the Lord came to Jonah(A) son of Amittai:(B) 2 “Go to the great city of Nineveh(C) and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.”
3 But Jonah ran(D) away from the Lord and headed for Tarshish(E). He went down to Joppa,(F) where he found a ship bound for that port. After paying the fare, he went aboard and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the Lord.(G)
Jonah 2:7-10
New International Version
7 “When my life was ebbing away,
I remembered(A) you, Lord,
and my prayer(B) rose to you,
to your holy temple.(C)
8 “Those who cling to worthless idols(D)
turn away from God’s love for them.
9 But I, with shouts of grateful praise,(E)
will sacrifice(F) to you.
What I have vowed(G) I will make good.
I will say, ‘Salvation(H) comes from the Lord.’”
10 And the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
