ISA-11:9 ...for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD,

as the waters cover the sea.

Copyright (c) 1985-2007

JON 01:01 Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of

Amittai, saying,

JON 01:02 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against

it; for their wickedness is come up before me.

JON 01:03 But 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

with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.

JON 01:04 But 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

be broken.

JON 01:05 Then 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.

JON 01:06 So 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.

JON 01:07 And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let

cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil [is] upon

us.

So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.

JON 01:08 Then 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?

JON 01:09 And 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].

JON 01:10 Then 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.

JON 01:11 Then 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.

JON 01:12 And 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

sake this great tempest [is] upon you.

JON 01:13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring [it] to the

land; but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was

tempestuous

against them.

JON 01:14 Wherefore 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.

JON 01:15 So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the

sea:

and the sea ceased from her raging.

JON 01:16 Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered

sacrifice unto the LORD, and made vows.

JON 01:17 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.

JON 02:01 Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the

fish's

belly,

JON 02:02 And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto

the

LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, [and]

thou

heardest my voice.

JON 02:03 For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of

the

seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy

waves passed over me.

JON 02:04 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will

look

again toward thy holy temple.

JON 02:05 The waters compassed me about, [even] to the soul: the

depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my

head.

JON 02:06 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth

with her bars [was] about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up

life from corruption, O LORD my God.

JON 02:07 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD:

and

my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.

JON 02:08 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own

mercy.

JON 02:09 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of

thanksgiving; I will pay [that] that I have vowed. Salvation

[is] of

the LORD.

JON 02:10 And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out

Jonah upon the dry [land].

JON 03:01 And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second

time,

saying,

JON 03:02 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach

unto

it the preaching that I bid thee.

JON 03:03 So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to

the

word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of

three

days' journey.

JON 03:04 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's

journey,

and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be

overthrown.

JON 03:05 So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed

fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the

least of them.

JON 03:06 For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose

from

his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered [him] with

sackcloth, and sat in ashes.

JON 03:07 And he caused [it] to be proclaimed and published

through

Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let

neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them

not

feed, nor drink water:

JON 03:08 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and

cry

mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil

way,

and from the violence that [is] in their hands.

JON 03:09 Who can tell [if] God will turn and repent, and turn

away

from his fierce anger, that we perish not?

JON 03:10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their

evil

way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he

would do

unto them; and he did [it] not.

JON 04:01 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very

angry.

JON 04:02 And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O

LORD, [was] not this my saying, when I was yet in my country?

Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou

[art] a

gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness,

and repentest thee of the evil.

JON 04:03 Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life

from

me; for [it is] better for me to die than to live.

JON 04:04 Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry?

JON 04:05 So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east

side

of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the

shadow, till he might see what would become of the city.

JON 04:06 And the LORD God prepared a gourd, and made [it] to

come

up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to

deliver

him from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd.

JON 04:07 But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next

day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.

JON 04:08 And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God

prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of

Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said,

[It

is] better for me to die than to live.

JON 04:09 And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for

the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, [even] unto death.

JON 04:10 Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd,

for

the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which

came

up in a night, and perished in a night:

JON 04:11 And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city,

wherein

are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern

between

their right hand and their left hand; and [also] much cattle?
