Jonah 1. 2. 3. 2 Arise and go to Nineveh that great City, and cry against it, for their wickedness is come up before me. 3 But Jonah rose up to fly to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord, and went down to Japho, and he found a ship going to Tarshish, so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it that he might go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord.
Ionah 1. 2. 3. 2 Arise and go to Niniuie that great Citie, and crie against it, for their vvickednesse is come vp before me. 3 But Ionah rose vp to flie to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord, and vvent dovvne to Iapho, and he found a ship going to Tarshish, so he paid the fare therof, and vvent dovvne into it that he might go vvith them vnto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord.
TO comfort Jonah against all evil temptations which might befall him, God saith that their wickedness is come up before him. As if he had said, ⟨p. 99⟩fear nothing, but go, for the quarrel is mine, I have sent thee, their sins provoke me thus to stand against them.
TO comfort Ionah against all euill temptatiōs which might befall him, God saith that their wickednesse is come vp before him. As if he had said, ⟨p. 99⟩feare nothing, but go, for the quarel is mine, I haue sent thee, their sinnes prouoke me thus to stand against them.
When God sends criers unto a people, it is a most manifest sign that their wickedness is come up before him, which doth cause him thus to exclaim against them, and then if they will not repent while Gods criers continue crying amongst them, the Lord of hosts will rise up in arms against them.
