But one of the Lord’s prophets was there. This prophet was named Oded. Oded met the Israelite army that came back to Samaria. Oded said to the Israelite army, “The Lord God your ancestors {\cf2\super [324]} obeyed let you defeat the people of Judah because he was angry at them. You killed and punished the people of Judah in a very mean way. Now God is angry at you.
“Mordecai, all the king’s leaders and all the people of the king’s provinces know this: The king has one law for any man or woman that goes to the king without being called. He must be put to death. The only way this law is not carried out is if the king puts out his gold scepter {\cf2\super [15]} to the person. If the king does that, then that person’s life will be saved. And I have not been called to go see the king for 30 days.”
Those people put their false god on their shoulders and carry it. That false god is useless—people have to carry it! People set the statue on the ground; and that false god can’t move. That false god never walks away from its place. People can yell at it, but it will not answer. That false god is only a statue—it can’t save people from their troubles.
Lord, look down from the heavens.\par See the things that are happening now!\par Look down at us from your great and holy home in heaven.\par Where is your strong love {\cf2\super [462]} for us?\par Where are your powerful works\par that come from deep inside you?\par Where is your mercy for me?\par Why are you hiding your kind love\par from me?\par
Jonah complained to the Lord and said, “I knew this would happen! I was in my own country, and you told me to come here. At that time, I knew that you would forgive the people of this evil city. So I decided to run away to Tarshish. I knew that you are a kind God! I knew that you show mercy and don’t want to punish people! I knew that you are full of kindness! I knew that if these people stopped sinning, you would change your plans to destroy them.
Lord, I have heard the news about you.\par Lord, I am amazed at the powerful things\par that you did in the past.\par Now I pray that you will do great things\par in our time.\par Please make those things happen\par in our own days.\par But in your excitement, remember to show mercy to us.\par SELAH {\cf2\super [12]} \par
