God speaks fiercely to the whale, and he vomits out the prophet on a dry space.
Jonah has need to wash his clothes.
God’s word comes to the prophet.
He is told to preach in Nineveh.
By night Jonah reaches the city.
Nineveh was a very great city.
Jonah delivers his message; “Yet forty days and Nineveh shall come to an end.
It shall be turned upside down, and swallowed quickly by the black earth.”
This speech spreads throughout the city.
Great fear seizes all.
