The Lord spoke to Jonah son of Amittai:
When a lion roars, people are frightened. When the Lord GOD speaks, a prophet must prophesy.

“Go to that big city Nineveh, and say what I tell you.”
There were prophets long before you and I became prophets, Hananiah. They spoke against many countries and great kingdoms and always warned that war, hunger, and disease would come to them.
