Portions: Jonah 1 - 4; Micah 1 - 2

The word of the Lord came to Jonah son of Amittai:
"Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it,
because its wickedness has come up before Me."
But Jonah ran away from the Lord and headed for Tarshish.
(Jonah 1:1-3)

And the Lord commanded the fish,
and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
(Jonah 2:10)

Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time:
"Go to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it
the message I give you."
When God saw what they did
and how they turned from their evil ways,
He had compassion
and did not bring upon them
the destruction He had threatened.
(Jonah 3:1-2,10)

But Jonah was greatly displeased and became angry.
But the Lord replied,
"Have you any right to be angry?"
(Jonah 4:1,4)

The word of the Lord that came to Micha of Moresheth
during the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz
and Hezekiah, kings of Judah -
the vision he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
(Micah 1:1)

If a liar and deceiver comes and says,
'I will prophesy for you plenty of wine and beer,'
he would be just the prophet for this people!
(Micah 2:11)
