Jonah in the Bible

Jonah is a prophet in the Bible known for being commanded by God to deliver a message of repentance to the city of Nineveh. Instead of obeying, Jonah tries to escape by fleeing on a ship, but he is swallowed by a large fish or whale. After three days, he prays and is given a second chance, leading him to Nineveh. The people repent, and God shows mercy. Jonah's story highlights themes of obedience, mercy, and God's willingness to forgive even large-scale wrongdoings.
