Isaiah Jonah
Isaiah 21:1-10 and the book of Jonah.
1.1The burden of the wilderness of the sea:
1.2As a whirlwind from the south,
1.3sweeping through from the wilderness;
1.4so it comes from a far off land.
Isaiah 21:12.1A grievous vision is declared to me.
2.2The oppressor oppresses and the plunderer plunders. I Habakkuk 1:2
2.3Go up Elam and the Mountains of Media.
2.4All its sighing I have ceased.
Isaiah 21:23.1Therefore, my loins are filled with pain;
3.2pangs have taken hold on me,
3.3as the pangs of a woman in travail;
3.4I was dismayed so that I could not hear,
3.5I was terrified so that I could not see.
4.1My heart failed,
4.2pangs made me quake;
4.3the beauty of my pleasures
4.4has been turned into terror to me.
Isaiah 21:3-45.1Prepare the tables,
5.2watch in the watchtowers,
5.3eat, drink;
5.4arise, princes,
5.5and anoint the shields.
Isaiah 21:56.1For thus said the Master to me:
6.2Go set a watchman
6.3that he may declare what he sees. I Habakkuk 2:1
7.1He saw a chariot
7.2with a couple of horsemen,
7.3a rider on a donkey,
7.4and a rider on a camel;
7.5and he listened diligently
7.6with great attention.
Isaiah 21:6-78.1Then the watchman cried into my ears, saying,
8.2Master, I stand continually in the daytime,
8.3and I stand on my watchtower every night.
9.1A man came
9.2from the pair of horsemen.
9.3He answered and said,
9.4Babel is fallen, is fallen;
9.5and all the graven images of her Gods
9.6are broken to the ground.
Isaiah 21:8-9 10.1There is no one to reap and no one to thresh;
10.2what I have heard
10.3of the Master, the God of Israel,
10.4I have declared to you. Isaiah 21:10 (Isaiah 21:1-10 BRB)
Storm
4but the Master sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the boat was in danger of being broken. (Jonah 1:4 BRB)
Proclamation
1The word of the Master came to Jonah a 2nd time, saying,
2Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and call to it the calling which I tell you.
Jonah 3:1-23Jonah arose and went to Nineveh according to the word of the Master. Nineveh was a great city to God, of 3 days journey.
4Jonah began to go into the city 1 day's journey and called and said, Yet 40 days and Nineveh will be overthrown. I Isaiah 17:1 A 2 Corinthians 6:7 Jonah 3:3-5 (Jonah 3:1-4 BRB)
Repentance and Fast
5The men of Nineveh believed in God and called a fast and put on sackcloth from the greatest of them even to the least. I Isaiah 17:4 H Matthew 12:41 H Luke 11:32 A Hebrews 13:2
6The word reached the king of Nineveh; and he arose from his throne, and took off his crown from his head, and covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
Jonah 3:67.1He caused it to be proclaimed throughout Nineveh:
Jonah 3:77.2By the decree of the king and his nobles,
Jonah 3:7.2-77.3Let neither children of men nor animals, herd nor flock, taste anything. Do not let them feed, nor drink water,
8but let children of men and animals be covered with sackcloth and call to God with groaning. Yes, let every man turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands.
9Who knows if God will turn and repent and turn from us his fierce anger that we may not perish? I Isaiah 17:7-8 Jonah 3:7.3-9 (Jonah 3:5-9 BRB)
Watching
5Jonah went out of the city and sat on the east side of the city, and made a tent for himself there, and sat under it in the shade to see what would happen to the city. C Jonah 3:10
Jonah 4:56The Master commanded a tender shoot of gourd to spring up and it sprang up and came over Jonah and became shade over his head and comforted him in his grief so Jonah was exceedingly glad because of the gourd,
7but the next day at dawn, God commanded a worm, and it struck the gourd so that it withered. I Isaiah 17:10-11
8It came to pass when the sun arose the Master God commanded a sultry wind I Isaiah 17:13 and the sun beat on the head of Jonah S Isaiah 49:10 that he was weary and wished that he might die and said, Master, you can take my life from me, for I am not better than my fathers.
Jonah 4:6-89The Master God said to Jonah, Are you exceedingly grieved over the gourd? Jonah 4:9.aJonah said, I am exceedingly grieved, even to death.
Jonah 4:9.b10The Master said to him, You have had pity on the gourd for which you did not labor, nor did you make it grow; which sprung up in a night, and withered in a night.
11Should I not have pity on Nineveh, that great city in which are more than 120,000 children of men that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand, and also many cattle? Jonah 4:10-11 (Jonah 4:5-11 BRB)
