| Summary | "The World English Bible (WEB): Jonah by Anonymous" is a religious text from the ancient Jewish tradition, likely written during the early centuries of the Common Era. This book is a narrative account found in the Bible, and it centers around the prophet Jonah, expressing themes of divine mercy, repentance, and the struggles of fulfilling prophetic duty. The story follows Jonah, a prophet who is commanded by Yahweh to go to Nineveh and warn its inhabitants of their impending destruction due to their wickedness. Instead of obeying, Jonah attempts to escape his duty by sailing to Tarshish, leading to a series of divine interventions, including a raging storm and his subsequent swallowing by a great fish. After three days in the fish's belly, Jonah repents and is delivered back to dry land. He eventually goes to Nineveh, where his warning leads the people to repent, prompting God to spare the city. However, Jonah is displeased with God's mercy, revealing his struggles with compassion and obedience throughout the narrative. The book concludes with a poignant lesson about understanding and harbored concerns for others, emphasizing the importance of mercy and compassion. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
