1:1 Jonah, sent to Nineveh, flees to Tarshish;
1:4 He is bewrayed by a tempest;
1:11 thrown into the sea;
1:17 and swallowed by a fish.

When we reflect how such a message would be received in the streets of London at this day, we shall not wonder at the prophet's reluctance to announce the destruction of the proud and idolatrous Nineveh.
