Jonah 1:1-3
King James Version
1 Now the word of the Lord came unto Jonah
the son of Amittai, saying,
2 Arise,
go to Nineveh,
that great city,
and cry against it;
for their wickedness is come up before me.
3 But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish
from the presence of the Lord,
and went down to Joppa;
and he found a ship going to Tarshish:
so he paid the fare thereof,
and went down into it,
to go with them unto Tarshish
from the presence of the Lord.
Not all prophets are serious.
Some stumble.
Others fumble.
They're reluctant.
Petulant.
Such as prophet Jonah.
Who tried to escape the LORD.
Find out what happened to him here.
And here.
