1 The word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai saying,
2 “Arise, go to Nineveh the great city and cry against it, for their wickedness has come up before Me.”
3 But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. So he went down to Joppa, found a ship which was going to Tarshish, paid the fare and went down into it to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord.
—Jonah 1:1-3

—Nahum 3:1-3
DISCUSS:

Where is your “Tarshish” that you have run to in the past?
What did the running cost you and how has God redeemed you from it?
