Jonah and God’s Creation

<p>‘But the Lᴏʀᴅ sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.<br> …<br> ‘Now the Lᴏʀᴅ had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. &nbsp;And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.’<br> <em>—Jonah 1:4, 17</em></p> <p>‘And the Lᴏʀᴅ God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. &nbsp;So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd.<br> ‘But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.<br> ‘And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.’<br> <em>—Jonah 4:6-8</em></p>
