Both the books of Nahum and Jonah are part of the Old Testament in The Bible and focus on prophets sent by God. However, they have different themes and messages.

In the book of Nahum, the prophet delivers a message of judgment and destruction against the city of Nineveh for its wickedness. On the other hand, the book of Jonah tells the story of the prophet Jonah who is sent to preach repentance to the people of Nineveh, and they ultimately turn from their wicked ways and are spared from destruction.

Overall, while both books involve prophets and the city of Nineveh, they have contrasting messages of judgment and mercy, respectively.
