Jonah 1:1-3

1The word of the Lord came to 1Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 2“Arise, go to 2Nineveh, the great city, and 3cry out against it, because their 4wickedness has come up before Me.” 3But Jonah got up to flee to 5Tarshish 6from the presence of the Lord. So he went down to 7Joppa, found a ship that was going to Tarshish, paid the fare, and 8boarded it to go with them to Tarshish away from the presence of the Lord.
