"The World English Bible (WEB): Jonah by Anonymous" is a timeless tale from the Bible that recounts the journey of Jonah as he grapples with faith and obedience. The book tells about how God calls on Jonah to deliver a warning to the wicked city of Nineveh. Jonah, in an attempt to avoid this task, boards a ship headed for Tarshish, but God sends a powerful storm that threatens to sink the ship. To save the others, Jonah is thrown overboard and swallowed by a giant fish, in whose belly he spends three days and nights repenting. After being released from the fish, Jonah finally goes to Nineveh and delivers his message, leading to widespread repentance among the people, ultimately moving God to spare their destruction. Despite this, Jonah becomes upset and struggles to understand God's mercy towards a city he believed deserved punishment. The story highlights the importance of compassion, obedience, and the boundless nature of divine mercy.
