Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time:
From early times the prophets who preceded you and me have prophesied war, disaster and plague against many countries and great kingdoms.
The lion has roared— who will not fear? The Sovereign Lord has spoken— who can but prophesy?
The word of the Lord came to Jonah son of Amittai:
And the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
“Go to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message I give you.”
