Jonah 1:2 in Context — Jonah 1

1 La parole de l’Éternel fut adressée à Jonas, fils d’Amitthaï, en ces mots:

2 Lève-toi, va à Ninive, la grande ville, et crie contre elle! Car sa méchanceté est montée jusqu’à moi.

3 Et Jonas se leva pour s’enfuir à Tarsis, loin de la face de l’Éternel. Il descendit à Japho, et il trouva un navire qui allait à Tarsis; il paya le prix du transport, et s’embarqua pour aller avec les passagers à Tarsis, loin de la face de l’Éternel.

4 Mais l’Éternel fit souffler sur la mer un vent impétueux, et il s’éleva sur la mer une grande tempête. Le navire menaçait de faire naufrage.
