Nearby Context

Jonah 3:1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jonah a second time, saying,

Jonah 3:2 `Rise, go unto Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim unto it the proclamation that I am speaking unto thee;'

Jonah 3:3 and Jonah riseth, and he goeth unto Nineveh, according to the word of Jehovah. And Nineveh hath been a great city before God, a journey of three days.

Study Lenses

The verse centers on "word", "jehovah", "jonah", "second", "time", and "saying". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "word" and "jehovah", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The next verse adds "Rise go unto Nineveh the great city...", so "word" and "jehovah" should be read forward into that movement. In Jonah context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "word" and "jehovah" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
