1Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,H1697H3068H3124H1121H573H559

2Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.H6965H3212H5210H1419H5892H7121H7451H5927H6440

3But 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.H3124H6965H1272H8659H6440H3068H3381H3305H4672H591H935H8659H5414H7939H3381H935H8659H6440H3068

4But the LORD sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.H3068H2904H1419H7307H3220H1419H5591H3220H591H2803H7665

5Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god, and cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it of them. But Jonah was gone down into the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.H4419H3372H2199H376H430H2904H3627H591H3220H7043H3124H3381H3411H5600H7901H7290

6So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not.H7227H2259H7126H559H7290H6965H7121H430H430H6245H6

7And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.H559H376H7453H3212H5307H1486H3045H7945H7451H5307H1486H1486H5307H3124

8Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil is upon us; What is thine occupation? and whence comest thou? what is thy country? and of what people art thou?H559H5046H7451H4399H370H935H776H5971

9And he said unto them, I am an Hebrew; and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry land.H559H5680H3373H3068H430H8064H6213H3220H3004

10Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him. Why hast thou done this? For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them.H582H1419H3374H3372H559H6213H582H3045H1272H6440H3068H5046

11Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous.H559H6213H3220H8367H3220H1980H5590

12And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.H559H5375H2904H3220H3220H8367H3045H7945H1419H5591

13Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them.H582H2864H7725H3004H3201H3220H1980H5590

14Wherefore they cried unto the LORD, and said, We beseech thee, O LORD, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O LORD, hast done as it pleased thee.H7121H3068H559H577H3068H6H376H5315H5414H5355H1818H3068H6213H2654

15So they look up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging.H5375H3124H2904H3220H3220H5975H2197

16Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the LORD, and made vows.H582H3372H3068H1419H3374H2076H2077H3068H5087H5088

17Now 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.H3068H4487H1419H1709H1104H3124H3124H4578H1709H7969H3117H7969H3915
