Jonah is commanded by God to preach to Nineveh, but he flees and is cast into the sea by a tempest, only to be swallowed by a great fish.
Jonah cries out in the belly of a great fish, prays earnestly to God, and is ultimately delivered onto dry land by divine intervention.
Jonah is commanded to preach to Nineveh; the city repents, and God spares them.
Jonah mourns his escape and begs for death, but God uses a gourd, worm, and wind to teach him compassion for Nineveh.
