{"product_id":"2940148937845","title":"The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 37: Jonas","description":"THE PROPHECY OF JONAS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJONAS prophesied in the reign of JEREBOAM the second: as we learn from 4\u003cbr\u003eKings 14.25. To whom also he foretold his success in restoring all the\u003cbr\u003eborders of Israel. He was of GETH OPHER in the tribe of ZABULON, and\u003cbr\u003econsequently of GALILEE: which confutes that assertion of the Pharisees,\u003cbr\u003eJohn 7.52, that no prophet ever rose out of GALILEE. He prophesied and\u003cbr\u003eprefigured in his own person the death and resurrection of CHRIST: and\u003cbr\u003ewas the only one among the prophets that was sent to preach to the\u003cbr\u003eGentiles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJonas Chapter 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJonas being sent to preach in Ninive, fleeth away by sea: a tempest\u003cbr\u003eriseth: of which he being found, by lot, to be the cause, is cast into\u003cbr\u003ethe sea, which thereupon is calmed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:1. Now the word of the Lord came to Jonas, the son of Amathi, saying:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:2. Arise and go to Ninive, the great city, and preach in it: For the\u003cbr\u003ewickedness thereof is come up before me.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNineve... The capital city of the Assyrian empire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:3. And Jonas rose up to flee into Tharsis from the face of the Lord,\u003cbr\u003eand he went down to Joppe, and found a ship going to Tharsis: and he\u003cbr\u003epaid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them to Tharsis\u003cbr\u003efrom the face of the Lord,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTharsis... Which some take to be Tharsus of Cilicia, others to be\u003cbr\u003eTartessus of Spain, others to be Carthage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:4. But the Lord sent a great wind to the sea: and a great tempest was\u003cbr\u003eraised in the sea, and the ship was in danger to be broken.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:5. And the mariners were afraid, and the men cried to their god: and\u003cbr\u003ethey cast forth the wares that were in the ship, into the sea, to\u003cbr\u003elighten it of them: and Jonas went down into the inner part of the ship,\u003cbr\u003eand fell into a deep sleep.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA deep sleep... This is a lively image of the insensibility of sinners,\u003cbr\u003efleeing from God, and threatened on every side with his judgments: and\u003cbr\u003eyet sleeping as if they were secure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:6. And the ship master came to him and said to him: Why art thou fast\u003cbr\u003easleep? rise up call upon thy God, if so be that God will think of us\u003cbr\u003ethat we may not perish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:7. And they said every one to his fellow: Come and let us cast lots,\u003cbr\u003ethat we may know why this evil is upon us.  And they cast lots, and the\u003cbr\u003elot fell upon Jonas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:8. And they said to him: Tell us for what cause this evil is upon us,\u003cbr\u003ewhat is thy business? of what country art thou? and whither goest thou?\u003cbr\u003eor of what people art thou?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:9. And he said to them: I am a Hebrew, and I fear the Lord, and the\u003cbr\u003eGod of heaven, who made both the sea and the dry land.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:10. And the men were greatly afraid, and they said to him: Why hast\u003cbr\u003ethou done this? (For the men knew that he fled from the face of the\u003cbr\u003eLord: because he had told them.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:11. And they said to him: What shall we do with thee, that the sea may\u003cbr\u003ebe calm to us? for the sea flowed and swelled.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:12. And he said to them: take me up, and cast me into the sea, and the\u003cbr\u003esea shall be calm to you: for I know for my sake this great tempest is\u003cbr\u003eupon you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:13. And the men rowed hard to return the land, but they were not able:\u003cbr\u003ebecause the sea tossed and swelled upon them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:14. And they cried to the Lord, and said: We beseech thee, O Lord let\u003cbr\u003eus not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood:\u003cbr\u003efor thou, oh Lord, hast done as it pleased thee.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:15. And they took Jonas, and cast him into the sea, and the sea ceased\u003cbr\u003efrom raging.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:16. And the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and sacrificed victims to\u003cbr\u003ethe Lord, and made vows.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Lost Leaf Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47067967553776,"sku":"2940148937845","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148937845_p0.jpg?v=1763710553","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148937845","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
