Jonas 2
Ambrose of Milan · Comentário Patrístico (catena)
Jonas 2:1-2
From my mother's womb you are my God; for I have been placed in the womb by you and have never departed from it. Like Jonah, who was placed in the belly of the whale, I was interceding for the people. And he truly was with God in his mother's womb, as it is written: 'Before the boy knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land of the two kings you dread will be laid waste' (Isaiah 7:16). — Interrogation of Job and David, Chapter 6
Jonas 2:10
Jonah did not escape the sea by the power of his birth, but by the hidden divine command he was thrown overboard, and a whale received him, vomited him out after three days as a sign of future mystery, and reserved him by the merit of prophetic grace. — The Six Days of Creation, Book 4, Chapter 4
