Jonah 3:2

New American Bible - revised edition

Set out for the great city of Nineveh, and announce to it the message that I will tell you.

See the chapter Copy

You must speak my words to them, whether they hear or resist, because they are rebellious.

But you, prepare yourself; stand up and tell them all that I command you. Do not be terrified on account of them, or I will terrify you before them;

Set out for the great city of Nineveh, and preach against it; for their wickedness has come before me.

After this Jesus found him in the temple area and said to him, “Look, you are well; do not sin any more, so that nothing worse may happen to you.”

Produce good fruit as evidence of your repentance.

So Jonah set out for Nineveh, in accord with the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was an awesomely great city; it took three days to walk through it.

Son of man, I have appointed you a sentinel for the house of Israel. When you hear a word from my mouth, you shall warn them for me.

The word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time:

Moses told Aaron everything the Lord had sent him to say, and all the signs he had commanded him to do.

But the Lord answered me, Do not say, “I am too young.” To whomever I send you, you shall go; whatever I command you, you shall speak.
