Kabbalah su Giona 2:3

One evil person in the world - how many other people are damaged by him! Oy to the evil person, and oy to that person's neighbors! Come and see, the prophet Yonah, since he did not want to do the mission of his Master, how many people were lost at sea because of him - until all turned against him and judged him with the judgment of the sea. And then they were all saved, and the Holy One of Blessing had pity on him after this, and saved many people in the world [Niniveh's people]. When? When he returned to his Master due to his suffering, as it is written "In my trouble I called Ad-nai, and He answered me" (Jonah 2:3) and also "In distress I called on Y-ah;He answered me with Y-ah's expansions" (Ps. 118:5).
