Jonah’s Flight

1The word of the LORD came to Jonah son of Amittai:H1697H3068H3124H1121H573H559
2"Get up! Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because their wickedness has confronted Me."H6965H3212H5210H1419H5892H7121H7451H5927H6440
3However, Jonah got up to flee to Tarshish from the LORD's presence. He went down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish. He paid the fare and went down into it to go with them to Tarshish, from the LORD's presence.H3124H6965H1272H8659H6440H3068H3381H3305H4672H591H935H8659H5414H7939H3381H935H8659H6440H3068
4Then the LORD hurled a violent wind on the sea, and such a violent storm arose on the sea that the ship threatened to break apart.H3068H2904H1419H7307H3220H1419H5591H3220H591H2803H7665
5The sailors were afraid, and each cried out to his god. They threw the ship's cargo into the sea to lighten the load. Meanwhile, Jonah had gone down to the lowest part of the vessel and had stretched out and fallen into a deep sleep.H4419H3372H2199H376H430H2904H3627H591H3220H7043H3124H3381H3411H5600H7901H7290
6The captain approached him and said, "What are you doing sound asleep? Get up! Call to your god. Maybe this god will consider us, and we won't perish."H7227H2259H7126H559H7290H6965H7121H430H430H6245H6
7"Come on!" the sailors said to each other. "Let's cast lots. Then we will know who is to blame for this trouble we're in." So they cast lots, and the lot singled out Jonah.H559H376H7453H3212H5307H1486H3045H7945H7451H5307H1486H1486H5307H3124
8Then they said to him, "Tell us who is to blame for this trouble we're in. What is your business and where are you from? What is your country and what people are you from?"H559H5046H7451H4399H370H935H776H5971
9He answered them, "I am a Hebrew. I worship Yahweh, the God of the heavens, who made the sea and the dry land."H559H5680H3373H3068H430H8064H6213H3220H3004
10Then the men were even more afraid and said to him, "What is this you've done?" For the men knew he was fleeing from the LORD's presence, because he had told them.H582H1419H3374H3372H559H6213H582H3045H1272H6440H3068H5046
11So they said to him, "What should we do to you to calm this sea that's against us?" For the sea was getting worse and worse.H559H6213H3220H8367H3220H1980H5590
12He answered them, "Pick me up and throw me into the sea so it may quiet down for you, for I know that I'm to blame for this violent storm that is against you."H559H5375H2904H3220H3220H8367H3045H7945H1419H5591
13Nevertheless, the men rowed hard to get back to dry land, but they could not because the sea was raging against them more and more.H582H2864H7725H3004H3201H3220H1980H5590
14So they called out to the LORD: "Please, Yahweh, don't let us perish because of this man's life, and don't charge us with innocent blood! For You, Yahweh, have done just as You pleased."H7121H3068H559H577H3068H6H376H5315H5414H5355H1818H3068H6213H2654
15Then they picked up Jonah and threw him into the sea, and the sea stopped its raging.H5375H3124H2904H3220H3220H5975H2197
16The men feared the LORD even more, and they offered a sacrifice to the LORD and made vows.H582H3372H3068H1419H3374H2076H2077H3068H5087H5088
17Then the LORD appointed a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the fish three days and three nights.H3068H4487H1419H1709H1104H3124H3124H4578H1709H7969H3117H7969H3915
