In any case, Jonah was actually being punished for trying to run away from G-d. G-d had asked him to go to the city of Ninveh and tell them to repent. However, Jonah, knowing that they would and that eventually this would not bode well for the Jewish people attempted to flee from the job that G-d had given him. After spending 3 days in the whale, Jonah repented and realized that one cannot run away from doing G-d's will. He was then vomited out and proceeded to perform his mission.

Who in the Bible was swallowed by a whale and lived?
Jonah...Jonah 1:17 Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.Answer:The inspired scripture doesn't say "whale." It says that God "...PREPARED A GREAT FISH to swallow up Jonah..." (Jonah 1:17).It doesn't reveal what kind of fish... or if this "special" fish is extant today as a species.Nor does it say that Jonah was alive for those three days and three nights in the fish's belly. We are only told that in the fish's belly Jonah prayed... but not for how long.Jesus gave the "sign of Jonas" as THE ONLY "proof of His Messiahship:"...An evil and adulterous generation SEEKETH AFTER A SIGN; and there shall no sign be given to it, BUT THE SIGN OF THE PROPHET JONAS: For AS Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly [again, the inspired word is 'KETOS' -- or, HUGE FISH]; SO SHALL THE SON OF MAN BE THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS IN THE HEART OF THE EARTH." (Matt.12:40)How was Jesus [after the manner of Jonah] in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights? Was He alive... or was He dead?Of course... He was "resurrected" from the dead... just AS Jonah was resurrected when: "...it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land." (Jonah 2:10)If Jonah was alive three days and three nights in the fish's belly... then so was Jesus alive [AS Jonah was] -- which would mean He never paid our ransom... the ONLY SIGN HE GAVE OF HIS MESSIAHSHIP FAILED... and Jesus Christ is not the Messiah.Yes, Jonah lived... but only after he was revived after three days and three nights.

What Hebrew prophet was in the belly of a big fish?
Jonah was in the belly of the fish for three days (Jonah ch.2). More information: God had commanded Jonah to speak in the non-Jewish city of Nineveh. According to tradition, however, it was chiefly meant to impress the Ten Israelite Tribes. If they would take to heart how the people of Nineveh repented, they might do the same. Jonah suspected that most of the Ten Tribes were likely to ignore the lesson and this would hasten the destruction of their land. That's why he tried to avoid conveying God's prophecy to Nineveh. He left the shores of Israel in a ship, since Israel is the land most conducive to prophecy.
