JON-1:1 Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of
Amittai, saying,
JON-1:2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against
it; for their
wickedness is come up before me.
JON-1:3 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 go with them
unto Tarshish
from the presence of the LORD.
JON-1:4 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 to be
broken.
JON-1:5 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-1:6 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-1:7 And 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.
JON-1:8 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-1:9 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-1:10 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-1:11 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-1:12 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 my sake
this great
tempest [is] upon you.
JON-1:13 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-1:14 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-1:15 So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea:
and the sea
ceased from her raging.
JON-1:16 Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered
a sacrifice
unto the LORD, and made vows.
JON-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.
JON-2:1 Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the
fish's belly,
JON-2:2 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-2:3 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-2:4 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will
look again toward
thy holy temple.
JON-2:5 The waters compassed me about, [even] to the soul: the
depth closed
me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
JON-2:6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth
with her bars
[was] about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from
corruption, O
LORD my God.
JON-2:7 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD:
and my prayer
came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
JON-2:8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own
mercy.
JON-2:9 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-2:10 And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out
Jonah upon the
dry [land].
JON-3:1 And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second
time, saying,
JON-3:2 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach
unto it the
preaching that I bid thee.
JON-3:3 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-3:4 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-3:5 So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a
fast, and put
on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of
them.
JON-3:6 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,
