Irony in the Hebrew Bible: Chapter 3 The Tale of JONAH Irony in the Hebrew Bible: Chapter 3 c. 400 BCE

CHAPTER 3 1 Then the word of the LORD came to Jonah a second time: 2 “Go to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message I give you.” 3 Jonah obeyed the word of the LORD and went to Nineveh. Now Nineveh was a very large city; it took three days to go through it. 4 Jonah began by going a day’s journey into the city, proclaiming, “Forty more days and Nineveh will be overthrown.” 5 The Ninevites believed God. A fast was proclaimed, and all of them, from the greatest to the least, put on sackcloth. 6 When Jonah’s warning reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, took off his royal robes, covered himself with sackcloth and sat down in the dust. 7 This is the proclamation he issued in Nineveh: “By the decree of the king and his nobles: Do not let people or animals, herds or flocks, taste anything; do not let them eat or drink. 8 But let people and animals be covered with sackcloth. Let everyone call urgently on God. Let them give up their evil ways and their violence. 9 Who knows? God may yet relent and with compassion turn from his fierce anger so that we will not perish.” 10 When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he relented and did not bring on them the destruction he had threatened.

What are your reactions upon reading this chapter? Is this the outcome you expected? (No, ironic!)

1 Then the word of the LORD came to Jonah a second time: 2 “Go to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message I give you.”

3 Jonah obeyed the word of the LORD and went to Nineveh 3 Jonah obeyed the word of the LORD and went to Nineveh. Now Nineveh was a very large city; it took three days to go through it.

4 Jonah began by going a day’s journey into the city, proclaiming, “Forty more days and Nineveh will be overthrown.”

5 The Ninevites believed God 5 The Ninevites believed God. A fast was proclaimed, and all of them, from the greatest to the least, put on sackcloth.

6 When Jonah’s warning reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, took off his royal robes, covered himself with sackcloth and sat down in the dust.

7 This is the proclamation he issued in Nineveh: “By the decree of the king and his nobles: Do not let people or animals, herds or flocks, taste anything; do not let them eat or drink.

8 But let people and animals be covered with sackcloth 8 But let people and animals be covered with sackcloth. Let everyone call urgently on God. Let them give up their evil ways and their violence.

This king speaks and behaves a lot like the sailors in Chapter 1. 9 Who knows? God may yet relent and with compassion turn from his fierce anger so that we will not perish.” This king speaks and behaves a lot like the sailors in Chapter 1.

A happy ending for the Ninevites, 10 When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he relented and did not bring on them the destruction he had threatened. A happy ending for the Ninevites, as with the sailors during the storm at sea.

Thusfar: A disobedient Hebrew prophet attempts to hide from the LORD In the process, foreign sailors come to believe in the LORD The LORD saves Jonah’s life and offers him a second chance to obey Jonah utters one sentence on the outskirts of Nineveh and the Assyrian king and all of Nineveh repent, believe, and are spared!
