Jonah 1:2-4

New Century Version

² “Get up, go to the great city of Nineveh, and preach against it, because I see the evil things they do.”

³ But Jonah got up to run away from the Lord by going to Tarshish. He went to the city of Joppa, where he found a ship that was going to the city of Tarshish. Jonah paid for the trip and went aboard, planning to go to Tarshish to run away from the Lord.

⁴ But the Lord sent a great wind on the sea, which made the sea so stormy that the ship was in danger of breaking apart.
