Hebrew: "The story of the man who has escaped God and the prophecy, was swallowed by the big fish, vomited from its belly and was forced, against his will, to be the harbinger of doom..." et cetera. Further text details the story of the play, of Jonah arriving to (then - 1989) modern-day Israel. Also at the bottom is a brief text about LSD, apparently taken from the play's dialogue, and spoken by a character named "The Assistant Psychiatrist".
This is a painting called Good Or Evil? by Peter Reynosa. I did it to go along with my poem Sons of the Prophet.
