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

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 go 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
  • to 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
  • 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 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 my 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
  • a 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 my 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
  • a 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?
