headed off to Tarshish
to escape
from the commission of the

He traveled
to Joppa
and found a merchant ship heading

So he paid the fare
and went aboard
it to go with them
to Tarshish
far away from the
Lord.

Announce a holy fast;
proclaim a sacred assembly!

sanctify an assembly!
Gather the elders;

and the bride from her private quarters.
