Jonah

Jonah is sent to warn the city of Nineveh, and he resists the errand.

Jonah chapter 1

1Now the LORD’s word came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,

2“Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach against it, for their wickedness has come up before me.”

3But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid its fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.

Stichos reaches Jonah as part of its one-chapter-a-day reading plan through the whole Bible.
