Jonah

Jonah prophesied in the reign of Jereboam the Second: as we learn from 2 Samuel 14:25. To whom also he foretold his success in restoring all the borders of Israel. He was of Geth Opher in the tribe of Zabulon, and consequently of Galilee: which confutes that assertion of the Pharisees, John 7:52, that no prophet ever rose out of Galilee. He prophesied and prefigured in his own person the death and resurrection of Christ: and was the only one among the prophets that was sent to preach to the Gentiles. (For more information, see the article JONAS in the Catholic Encyclopedia.)

Chapter 1. Jonas being sent to preach in Ninive, fleeth away by sea: a tempest riseth: of which he being found, by lot, to be the cause, is cast into the sea, which thereupon is calmed.
Chapter 2. Jonas is swallowed up by a great fish: he prayeth with confidence in God; and the fish casteth him out on the dry land.
Chapter 3. Jonas is sent again to preach in Ninive. Upon their fasting and repentance, God recalleth the sentence by which they were to be destroyed.
Chapter 4. Jonas, repining to see that his prophecy is not fulfilled, is reproved by the type of the ivy.
