Jonah is sent to call Nineveh to repentance—He flees on a ship, is cast into the sea, and is swallowed by a great fish.

Jonah prays to the Lord, and the fish vomits him out on dry ground.

Jonah prophesies the downfall of Nineveh—The people repent and the city is saved.

Jonah is displeased with the Lord for his mercy upon the people—The Lord rebukes him.
