Jonah

“This Jeroboam restored the boundary of Israel from Lebo-hamath to the Sea of the Arabah, according to the word that the LORD, the God of Israel, had spoken through His servant Jonah son of Amittai, the prophet from Gath-hepher.”

“Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah son of Amittai, saying,”

““Get up! Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before Me.””

“Jonah, however, got up to flee to Tarshish, away from the presence of the LORD. He went down to Joppa and found a ship bound for Tarshish. So he paid the fare and went aboard to sail for Tarshish, away from the presence of the LORD.”

“For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.”

“The men of Nineveh will stand at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now One greater than Jonah is here.”

“Then the LORD hurled a great wind upon the sea, and such a violent storm arose that the ship was in danger of breaking apart.”

“A wicked and adulterous generation demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.” Then He left them and went away.”
