Jon 01:01 ¶ Now the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came unto 
Jonah <03124> the son <01121> of Amittai <0573>, saying <0559> 
(8800),

Jon 01:02  Arise <06965> (8798), go <03212> (8798) to Nineveh 
<05210>, that great <01419> city <05892>, and cry <07121> (8798) 
against it; for their wickedness <07451> is come up <05927> 
(8804) before <06440> me.

Jon 01:03  But Jonah <03124> rose up <06965> (8799) to flee 
<01272> (8800) unto Tarshish <08659> from the presence <06440> 
of the LORD <03068>, and went down <03381> (8799) to Joppa 
<03305>; and he found <04672> (8799) a ship <0591> going <0935> 
(8802) to Tarshish <08659>: so he paid <05414> (8799) the fare 
<07939> thereof, and went down <03381> (8799) into it, to go 
<0935> (8800) with them unto Tarshish <08659> from the presence 
<06440> of the LORD <03068>.

Jon 01:04 ¶ But the LORD <03068> sent out <02904> (8689) a great 
<01419> wind <07307> into the sea <03220>, and there was a 
mighty <01419> tempest <05591> in the sea <03220>, so that the 
ship <0591> was like <02803> (8765) to be broken <07665> (8736).

Jon 01:05  Then the mariners <04419> were afraid <03372> (8799), 
and cried <02199> (8799) every man <0376> unto his god <0430>, 
and cast forth <02904> (8686) the wares <03627> that were in the 
ship <0591> into the sea <03220>, to lighten <07043> (8687) it 
of them. But Jonah <03124> was gone down <03381> (8804) into the 
sides <03411> of the ship <05600>; and he lay <07901> (8799), 
and was fast asleep <07290> (8735).

Jon 01:06  So the shipmaster <07227> <02259> came <07126> (8799) 
to him, and said <0559> (8799) unto him, What meanest thou, O 
sleeper <07290> (8737)? arise <06965> (8798), call <07121> 
(8798) upon thy God <0430>, if so be that God <0430> will think 
<06245> (8691) upon us, that we perish <06> (8799) not.

Jon 01:07  And they said <0559> (8799) every one <0376> to his 
fellow <07453>, Come <03212> (8798), and let us cast <05307> 
(8686) lots <01486>, that we may know <03045> (8799) for whose 
cause <07945> this evil <07451> is upon us. So they cast <05307> 
(8686) lots <01486>, and the lot <01486> fell <05307> (8799) 
upon Jonah <03124>.

Jon 01:08  Then said <0559> (8799) they unto him, Tell <05046> 
(8685) us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil <07451> is 
upon us; What is thine occupation <04399>? and whence <0370> 
comest <0935> (8799) thou? what is thy country <0776>? and of 
what people <05971> art thou?

Jon 01:09  And he said <0559> (8799) unto them, I am an Hebrew 
<05680>; and I fear <03373> the LORD <03068>, the God <0430> of 
heaven <08064>, which hath made <06213> (8804) the sea <03220> 
and the dry <03004> land.

Jon 01:10  Then were the men <0582> exceedingly <01419> <03374> 
afraid <03372> (8799), and said <0559> (8799) unto him, Why hast 
thou done <06213> (8804) this? For the men <0582> knew <03045> 
(8804) that he fled <01272> (8802) from the presence <06440> of 
the LORD <03068>, because he had told <05046> (8689) them.

Jon 01:11 ¶ Then said <0559> (8799) they unto him, What shall we 
do <06213> (8799) unto thee, that the sea <03220> may be calm 
<08367> (8799) unto us? for the sea <03220> wrought <01980> 
(8802), and was tempestuous <05590> (8802).

Jon 01:12  And he said <0559> (8799) unto them, Take me up 
<05375> (8798), and cast me forth <02904> (8685) into the sea 
<03220>; so shall the sea <03220> be calm <08367> (8799) unto 
you: for I know <03045> (8802) that for my sake <07945> this 
great <01419> tempest <05591> is upon you.

Jon 01:13  Nevertheless the men <0582> rowed hard <02864> (8799) 
to bring <07725> (8687) it to the land <03004>; but they could 
<03201> (8804) not: for the sea <03220> wrought <01980> (8802), 
and was tempestuous <05590> (8802) against them.

Jon 01:14  Wherefore they cried <07121> (8799) unto the LORD 
<03068>, and said <0559> (8799), We beseech thee <0577>, O LORD 
<03068>, we beseech thee, let us not perish <06> (8799) for this 
man’s <0376> life <05315>, and lay <05414> (8799) not upon us 
innocent <05355> (8675) <05355> blood <01818>: for thou, O LORD 
<03068>, hast done <06213> (8804) as it pleased <02654> (8804) 
thee.

Jon 01:15  So they took up <05375> (8799) Jonah <03124>, and 
cast him forth <02904> (8686) into the sea <03220>: and the sea 
<03220> ceased <05975> (8799) from her raging <02197>.

Jon 01:16  Then the men <0582> feared <03372> (8799) the LORD 
<03068> exceedingly <01419> <03374>, and offered <02076> (8799) 
a sacrifice <02077> unto the LORD <03068>, and made <05087> 
(8799) vows <05088>.

Jon 01:17  Now the LORD <03068> had prepared <04487> (8762) a 
great <01419> fish <01709> to swallow up <01104> (8800) Jonah 
<03124>. And Jonah <03124> was in the belly <04578> of the fish 
<01709> three <07969> days <03117> and three <07969> nights 
<03915>.

Jon 02:01 ¶ Then Jonah <03124> prayed <06419> (8691) unto the 
LORD <03068> his God <0430> out of the fish’s <01710> belly 
<04578>,

Jon 02:02  And said <0559> (8799), I cried <07121> (8804) by 
reason of mine affliction <06869> unto the LORD <03068>, and he 
heard <06030> (8799) me; out of the belly <0990> of hell <07585> 
cried <07768> (8765) I, and thou heardest <08085> (8804) my 
voice <06963>.

Jon 02:03  For thou hadst cast <07993> (8686) me into the deep 
<04688>, in the midst <03824> of the seas <03220>; and the 
floods <05104> compassed <05437> (8779) me about: all thy 
billows <04867> and thy waves <01530> passed over <05674> (8804) 
me.

Jon 02:04  Then I said <0559> (8804), I am cast out <01644> 
(8738) of thy sight <05869>; yet I will look <05027> (8687) 
again <03254> (8686) toward thy holy <06944> temple <01964>.

Jon 02:05  The waters <04325> compassed me about <0661> (8804), 
even to the soul <05315>: the depth <08415> closed me round 
about <05437> (8779), the weeds <05488> were wrapped about 
<02280> (8803) my head <07218>.

Jon 02:06  I went down <03381> (8804) to the bottoms <07095> of 
the mountains <02022>; the earth <0776> with her bars <01280> 
was about me for ever <05769>: yet hast thou brought up <05927> 
(8686) my life <02416> from corruption <07845>, O LORD <03068> 
my God <0430>.

Jon 02:07  When my soul <05315> fainted <05848> (8692) within me 
I remembered <02142> (8804) the LORD <03068>: and my prayer 
<08605> came in <0935> (8799) unto thee, into thine holy <06944> 
temple <01964>.

Jon 02:08  They that observe <08104> (8764) lying <07723> 
vanities <01892> forsake <05800> (8799) their own mercy <02617>.

Jon 02:09  But I will sacrifice <02076> (8799) unto thee with 
the voice <06963> of thanksgiving <08426>; I will pay <07999> 
(8762) that that I have vowed <05087> (8804). Salvation <03444> 
is of the LORD <03068>.

Jon 02:10 ¶ And the LORD <03068> spake <0559> (8799) unto the 
fish <01709>, and it vomited out <06958> (8686) Jonah <03124> 
upon the dry <03004> land.

Jon 03:01 ¶ And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came unto 
Jonah <03124> the second <08145> time, saying <0559> (8800),

Jon 03:02  Arise <06965> (8798), go <03212> (8798) unto Nineveh 
<05210>, that great <01419> city <05892>, and preach <07121> 
(8798) unto it the preaching <07150> that I bid <01696> (8802) 
thee.

Jon 03:03  So Jonah <03124> arose <06965> (8799), and went 
<03212> (8799) unto Nineveh <05210>, according to the word 
<01697> of the LORD <03068>. Now Nineveh <05210> was an 
exceeding <0430> great <01419> city <05892> of three <07969> 
days <03117>‘ journey <04109>.

Jon 03:04  And Jonah <03124> began <02490> (8686) to enter 
<0935> (8800) into the city <05892> a <0259> day’s <03117> 
journey <04109>, and he cried <07121> (8799), and said <0559> 
(8799), Yet forty <0705> days <03117>, and Nineveh <05210> shall 
be overthrown <02015> (8737).

Jon 03:05 ¶ So the people <0582> of Nineveh <05210> believed 
<0539> (8686) God <0430>, and proclaimed <07121> (8799) a fast 
<06685>, and put <03847> (8799) on sackcloth <08242>, from the 
greatest <01419> of them even to the least <06996> of them.

Jon 03:06  For word <01697> came <05060> (8799) unto the king 
<04428> of Nineveh <05210>, and he arose <06965> (8799) from his 
throne <03678>, and he laid <05674> (8686) his robe <0155> from 
him, and covered <03680> (8762) him with sackcloth <08242>, and 
sat <03427> (8799) in ashes <0665>.

Jon 03:07  And he caused it to be proclaimed <02199> (8686) and 
published <0559> (8799) through Nineveh <05210> by the decree 
<02940> of the king <04428> and his nobles <01419>, saying 
<0559> (8800), Let neither man <0120> nor beast <0929>, herd 
<01241> nor flock <06629>, taste <02938> (8799) any thing 
<03972>: let them not feed <07462> (8799), nor drink <08354> 
(8799) water <04325>:

Jon 03:08  But let man <0120> and beast <0929> be covered 
<03680> (8691) with sackcloth <08242>, and cry <07121> (8799) 
mightily <02394> unto God <0430>: yea, let them turn <07725> 
(8799) every one <0376> from his evil <07451> way <01870>, and 
from the violence <02555> that is in their hands <03709>.

Jon 03:09  Who can tell <03045> (8802) if God <0430> will turn 
<07725> (8799) and repent <05162> (8738), and turn away <07725> 
(8804) from his fierce <02740> anger <0639>, that we perish <06> 
(8799) not?

Jon 03:10  And God <0430> saw <07200> (8799) their works <04639>,
 that they turned <07725> (8804) from their evil <07451> way 
<01870>; and God <0430> repented <05162> (8735) of the evil 
<07451>, that he had said <01696> (8765) that he would do 
<06213> (8800) unto them; and he did <06213> (8804) it not.

Jon 04:01 ¶ But it displeased <03415> (8799) Jonah <03124> 
exceedingly <01419> <07451>, and he was very angry <02734> 
(8799).

Jon 04:02  And he prayed <06419> (8691) unto the LORD <03068>, 
and said <0559> (8799), I pray <0577> thee, O LORD <03068>, was 
not this my saying <01697>, when I was yet in my country <0127>? 
Therefore I fled <01272> (8800) before <06923> (8765) unto 
Tarshish <08659>: for I knew <03045> (8804) that thou art a 
gracious <02587> God <0410>, and merciful <07349>, slow <0750> 
to anger <0639>, and of great <07227> kindness <02617>, and 
repentest <05162> (8737) thee of the evil <07451>.

Jon 04:03  Therefore now, O LORD <03068>, take <03947> (8798), I 
beseech thee, my life <05315> from me; for it is better <02896> 
for me to die <04194> than to live <02416>.

Jon 04:04  Then said <0559> (8799) the LORD <03068>, Doest thou 
well <03190> (8687) to be angry <02734> (8804)?

Jon 04:05 ¶ So Jonah <03124> went out <03318> (8799) of the city 
<05892>, and sat <03427> (8799) on the east side <06924> of the 
city <05892>, and there made <06213> (8799) him a booth <05521>, 
and sat <03427> (8799) under it in the shadow <06738>, till he 
might see <07200> (8799) what would become of the city <05892>.

Jon 04:06  And the LORD <03068> God <0430> prepared <04487> 
(8762) a gourd <07021>, and made it to come up <05927> (8799) 
over Jonah <03124>, that it might be a shadow <06738> over his 
head <07218>, to deliver <05337> (8687) him from his grief 
<07451>. So Jonah <03124> was exceeding <01419> <08057> glad 
<08055> (8799) of the gourd <07021>.

Jon 04:07  But God <0430> prepared <04487> (8762) a worm <08438> 
when the morning <07837> rose <05927> (8800) the next day 
<04283>, and it smote <05221> (8686) the gourd <07021> that it 
withered <03001> (8799).

Jon 04:08  And it came to pass, when the sun <08121> did arise 
<02224> (8800), that God <0430> prepared <04487> (8762) a 
vehement <02759> east <06921> wind <07307>; and the sun <08121> 
beat <05221> (8686) upon the head <07218> of Jonah <03124>, that 
he fainted <05968> (8691), and wished <07592> (8799) in himself 
<05315> to die <04191> (8800), and said <0559> (8799), It is 
better <02896> for me to die <04194> than to live <02416>.

Jon 04:09  And God <0430> said <0559> (8799) to Jonah <03124>, 
Doest thou well <03190> (8687) to be angry <02734> (8804) for 
the gourd <07021>? And he said <0559> (8799), I do well <03190> 
(8687) to be angry <02734> (8804), even unto death <04194>.

Jon 04:10  Then said <0559> (8799) the LORD <03068>, Thou hast 
had pity <02347> (8804) on the gourd <07021>, for the which thou 
hast not laboured <05998> (8804), neither madest it grow <01431> 
(8765); which came up in a night <01121> <03915>, and perished 
<06> (8804) in a night <01121> <03915>:

Jon 04:11  And should not I spare <02347> (8799) Nineveh <05210>,
 that great <01419> city <05892>, wherein are <03426> more 
<07235> (8687) than sixscore <08147> <06240> thousand <07239> 
persons <0120> that cannot discern <03045> (8804) between their 
right hand <03225> and their left hand <08040>; and also much 
<07227> cattle <0929>?
