"The Bible, King James version, Book 32: Jonah" by Anonymous is an ancient story examining themes of obedience, repentance, and God's forgiveness. The book tells of Jonah, a prophet tasked by God to warn the city of Nineveh about its wickedness; but Jonah, unwilling to follow God's orders, attempts to flee by sea where a terrible storm at sea threatens the ship and its crew. To save them, Jonah is cast into the sea and swallowed by a giant fish, where he prays for three days and nights. Miraculously freed, Jonah fulfills his task, leading Nineveh to repent and turn away from its evil ways, yet Jonah becomes angry at God's willingness to forgive the people. In the end, the story imparts a lesson about compassion and love for all living things, demonstrating the contrast between human anger and divine mercy.
