Jonas 1 tells the story of God's call to Jonas to preach in Nineveh, but instead of obeying, Jonas tries to escape and ends up being thrown into the sea during a storm. Here are five verses related to the topics covered in Jonah 1:

Proverbs 21:30: "There is no wisdom, no intelligence, no advice against the Lord." The chapter of Jonas 1 clearly illustrates the uselessness of trying to escape the call of God. Jonas thought he could escape God's will, but ended up in trouble. This verse of Proverbs reinforces that nothing can resist God's will.

Psalm 139:7-8: "Where will I absent from your Spirit? Where will I run away from your face? If you go to heaven, you are; if you do my bed, behold, you are there too." This psalm highlights God's omnipresence and the impossibility of escaping his presence. This is exactly what Jonas tried to do, but found it was not possible.

Matthew 8:27: "And men marveled, saying, What man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?" As Jonas 1 shows, God has power over storms and seas. In this verse of Matthew, Jesus demonstrates the same power by soothing a storm.

Isaiah 45:22: "Look at me, and shall be saved, you all the terms of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other." When Jonas asked to be thrown into the sea to calm the storm, the sailors feared God and turned to him in prayer. This verse of Isaiah emphasizes the importance of seeking salvation in God.

Acts 27:25: "Therefore, O men, tend to good courage; for I believe in God, that it will happen as I was told." In this chapter of Acts, Paul is facing a storm on the high seas and encourages others to trust God. Like Jonas, the sailors in Acts learn to trust God during a storm at sea.
