“Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.”
The description of Nineveh as great and the command to cry against it establishes the scope and importance of Jonah's prophetic mission. The reference to wickedness coming before God indicates that God is aware of the city's moral condition. This verse emphasizes the divine knowledge of human sin.
