Talmud zu Jonah 2:13

Rebbi Yudan in the name of Rebbi Isaac said in another version: Flesh and blood has a protector. When they tell him, your client was arrested, he will say: I will protect him. When they tell him, he is going before a court, he will say: I will protect him. When they tell him, he is being thrown into the water, where is he and where is his protector? But the Holy One, praise to Him, saved Jonah from inside the fish, since it says (Jonah 2:11): “The Eternal commanded the fish and it threw Jonah up.”

Rebbi Joshua ben Ḥananiah said: When the wind goes out into the world, the Holy One, praise to Him, breaks it on mountains, lets it stumble on hills, and tells it: Be careful not to hurt my creatures. What is the reason? (Is. 57:16) “The wind becomes faint before Me.” He makes it tired, as one says (Jonah 2:8): “When I am fainting.” All that why? Rebbi Ḥuna in the name of Rebbi Aḥa (Is. 57:16): “And I made souls;” because of the souls that I made.

HALAKHAH: It is written¹⁶⁸Jon. 2:3. The verse referred to in the Mishnah.: He said, I called on the Eternal in my trouble and he answered me. Would not David and Solomon have to precede Elijah and Jonah¹⁶⁹Since the next Mishnah refers to David and Solomon, the sequence Abraham, Exodus, Joshua, Samuel, Elijah, Jonah, David and Solomon, is not chronological.? Only to conclude with “Who shows mercy for the Land.”
