When God decided to flood the earth with water, an event like that had never happened before. God told Noah it would destroy all the people, birds, and animals that lived on the land. "The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. So the Lord said, 'I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created-and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground-for I regret that I have made them.'

From Quiz King Solomon's Wise Words and Proverbs

Answer: He hates wisdom and instruction

Before I became King Solomon, I was a young man who was very scared to rule the kingdom. God appeared to me at night and told me I could have anything I wanted. I asked for wisdom! God was so pleased he gave me wisdom, riches, and everything else I didn't ask for. I learned serving God is the most important thing. I wrote in Proverbs 1:7, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction." A foolish man doesn't want to hear anything God says and doesn't want to listen to anybody who tries to teach him. This is why a foolish man will always get himself into a mess of trouble.

Answer: Tarshish

It says in Jonah 1:3 "But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD." Tarshish was in the opposite direction of Nineveh. Jonah did not want to obey God because the people of Nineveh had done a lot of bad things and Jonah did not think they should be forgiven. As a result of his disobedience Jonah was swallowed by a big fish and lived in its belly for three days. Jonah teaches us that there are consequences for our sin. Sin is when we disobey God. -Submitted by Ilona_Ritter
