Excerpt from How to Read the Prophets, Vol. 1: Being the Prophecies Arranged Chronologically in Their Historical Setting With Explanations, Maps, and Glossary Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it, for their wickedness is come up before Me. But Jonah rose, and fled unto Tarshish from the pre sence of the Lord, and went down to J oppa. And he found there 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. But the Lord sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the Ship was like to be broken. Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god, and cast forth the wares, that were in the ship, to lighten it of them. But Jonah was gone down into the Sides of the Ship, and he lay, and was fast asleep. Then the shipmaster came unto him, and said to him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? Arise, call upon thy God: if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not. And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this calamity has come upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah. Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this calamity has come upon us? What is thine occupa tion? And whence comest thou? What is thy country? And of what people art thou?
