Five days of readings, covering the story of Jonah in which God declares judgement yet shows great mercy.
7When I felt my life slipping away,
then, O LORD, I prayed to you,
and in your holy Temple you heard me.
8Those who worship worthless idols
have abandoned their loyalty to you.
9But I will sing praises to you;
I will offer you a sacrifice
and do what I have promised.
Salvation comes from the LORD!”
10Then the LORD ordered the fish to spew Jonah up on the beach, and it did.
