Jehovah Wen Give Jonah Plenny Chance

In Nineveh town, da Assyria peopo wuz real pilau. Jehovah wen tell his prophet Jonah fo go Nineveh an warn da peopo fo stop doin pilau kine tings. But Jonah wen dig out an go da odda way. He wen jump on one boat dat wuz goin Tarshish side.

Wen dey wuz out in da ocean, one mean kine storm had come an all da saila guys wuz sked. Dey wen pule to dea gods an ask: ‘Wass goin on?’ Finally, Jonah tell dem: ‘Az my fault. I wen run away from wat Jehovah wen tell me fo do. You guys gotta throw me into da ocean an den da storm goin stop.’ Da sailas neva like throw Jonah out of da boat, but he wen keep telling dem fo do um. Wen dey did throw Jonah out into da ocean, da storm had stop.

Jonah tink he wuz goin mahke. Az he wuz sinking deepa into da ocean, he wen pray to Jehovah. Den Jehovah had sen one humangus fish fo swallow Jonah, but dat neva kill him. From inside da fish, Jonah pray: ‘I promise fo lissen you erytime.’ Fo three days, Jehovah wen keep Jonah safe inside da fish belly an den da fish spit him out onto da beach.

Cuz Jehovah had save Jonah, an fogive him, Jonah still had fo go Nineveh? Yeah, Jehovah again tell Jonah fo go ova dea. But dis time, Jonah wen lissen an go Nineveh. He tell da pilau peopo: ‘Ony get 40 moa days, den God goin wipe out Nineveh town.’ Den someting unreal happen—da Nineveh peopo wen lissen wat God tell an change dea ways. Da king fo Nineveh tell da peopo: ‘Pray to God, an stop doing pilau tings. Den maybe he not goin wipe us out.’ Wen Jehovah had see dat da peopo come sorry, he neva wipe out Nineveh.

Jonah come all huhu cuz da town no wuz wipe out. Brah, how’z dis guy?! Jehovah wuz patient an wen fogive Jonah, but Jonah neva show pity to da peopo of Nineveh. So he wen go sit outside da town in da shade of one plant an wuz all habut. Den da plant wen die, an Jonah got all mad. So Jehovah tell him: ‘I wen show da Nineveh peopo pity, an let dem live. But you kea moa about dis plant den dem.’ Wat da poin of dis? Da Nineveh peopo wuz way moa importan den one plant.
