The Lord spoke his word to Jonah again and said,
The Lord spoke his word to Jonah son of Amittai:
The lion has roared! Who wouldn’t be afraid? The Lord God has spoken. Who will not prophesy?
Then the Lord spoke to the fish, and the fish threw up Jonah onto the dry land.
“Get up, go to the great city Nineveh, and preach to it what I tell you to say.”
There were prophets long before we became prophets, Hananiah. They prophesied that war, hunger, and terrible diseases would come to many countries and great kingdoms.
