¹ The LORD said to Jonah son of Amittai, ² "Go immediately to Nineveh, that large capital city, and announce judgment against its people because their wickedness has come to my attention." ³ Instead, Jonah immediately headed off to Tarshish to escape from the commission of the LORD. He traveled to Joppa and found a merchant ship heading to Tarshish. So he paid the fare and went aboard it to go with them to Tarshish far away from the LORD.
