Project Gutenberg 2005-06-01 Public domain in the USA. 82 The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 37: Jonas The Challoner Revision This eBook was produced by David Widger from etext #1581 prepared by Dennis McCarthy, Atlanta, Georgia and Tad Book, student, Pontifical North American College, Rome "The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 37: Jonas" is a biblical account from the Old Testament, traditionally attributed to the prophet Jonah. This work is part of a larger religious text that has been compiled and translated over centuries, with the Douay-Rheims translation being specifically published in the early modern period, around the late 16th to early 17th centuries. This book primarily discusses Jonah's mission to preach to the people of Nineveh, exploring themes of disobedience, repentance, and divine mercy. The narrative of "Jonas" follows the prophet Jonah, initially called by God to deliver a message of repentance to Nineveh, the capital of the Assyrian Empire. However, Jonah attempts to flee from this duty by sailing in the opposite direction, resulting in a storm at sea. After being thrown overboard and swallowed by a great fish, Jonah spends three days and nights in its belly, during which he prays for deliverance. Ultimately, he is returned to dry land and fulfills his mission, leading to the city's remarkable repentance and God's mercy, despite Jonah's anger at God's compassion towards the inhabitants. This story highlights the themes of God's authority, human reluctance to follow divine will, and the possibility of redemption for all, even for non-Israelites.
