Jonah 1:2-4

Complete Jewish Bible

² “Set out for the great city of Ninveh, and proclaim to it that their wickedness has come to my attention.”

³ But Yonah, in order to get away from Adonai, prepared to escape to Tarshish. He went down to Yafo, found a ship headed for Tarshish, paid the fare and went aboard, intending to travel with them to Tarshish and get away from Adonai. ⁴ However, Adonai let loose over the sea a violent wind, which created such stormy conditions that the ship threatened to break to pieces.
