What an object lesson to believers to awaken from apathy as desperate people perish on the sea of life.[26] After the sailors call out to their gods and throw the cargo overboard to lighten the ship, all to no avail, they implore Jonah to call on his God, whom he had told them about (Jnh 1:6,10).
Ni somo la kitu gani kwa waumini kuamka kutoka kwa kutojali huku watu waliokata tamaa wakiangamia kwenye bahari ya uzima.[26] Baada ya mabaharia kuita miungu yao na kutupa shehena baharini ili kupunguza uzito wa meli, lakini bila mafanikio, wanamsihi Yona amwite Mungu wake, ambaye alikuwa amewaambia habari zake (Yn 1:6,10).
