Once again the Lord spoke to Jonah.
One day the Lord spoke to Jonah son of Amittai.
When a lion roars, who can keep from being afraid? When the Sovereign Lord speaks, who can keep from proclaiming his message?
Then the Lord ordered the fish to spit Jonah up on the beach, and it did.
He said, “Go to Nineveh, that great city, and proclaim to the people the message I have given you.”
The prophets who spoke long ago, before my time and yours, predicted that war, starvation, and disease would come to many nations and powerful kingdoms.
