Translators can follow this practice, but they are not obligated to. - -### Special concepts in this chapter - -#### Sea -This chapter contains many terms from the sea. - -### Important figures of speech in this chapter - -#### Poetry -Prayers in Scripture often contain a poetic form. Poetry frequently uses metaphors to communicate something with a special meaning. For example, since Jonah was in a fish in the sea, being trapped is compared to a prison. Jonah is overwhelmed by the depth of the sea and expresses this by speaking about the at the "base of the mountains" and in the "belly of Sheol." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]]) - -### Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter - -#### Repentance -Scholars are divided over whether Jonah's repentance was genuine or whether he was trying to save his life. In light of his attitude in chapter 4, it is uncertain if he was genuinely repentant. If possible, it is best for translators to avoid making a definitive stance on whether Jonah's repentance was genuine.
