Current coverage includes Jonah. More books are being added.
Jonah contrasts resisting God’s word with responding to it. The story shows that disobedience harms others and distorts worship, while obedience aligns the servant with God’s compassionate aims—even when that obedience is reluctant.
12He said to them, "Take me up, and throw me into the sea. Then the sea will be calm for you; for I know that because of me this great tempest is on you."
16Then the men feared Yahweh exceedingly; and they offered a sacrifice to Yahweh, and made vows.
3But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of Yahweh. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid its fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of Yahweh.
9But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to Yahweh."

2He prayed to Yahweh, and said, "Please, Yahweh, wasn`t this what I said when I was still in my own country? Therefore I hurried to flee to Tarshish, for I knew that you are a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness, and you repent of the evil.
