Forgetting Jonah

Woe to the city of blood,
full of lies,
full of plunder,
never without victims!

Nahum 3:1 NIV

FORGETTING JONAH

Nineveh suffers.
turn your back...don’t feel sorry.
how the mighty cry
in their evil-wicked ways.
mercy long, not forever…

thank you for sharing this. It reminded me of the ship of tarshish, and when he was tossed overboard.
