1 # Now the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came unto Jonah <03124> the son <01121> of Amittai <0573>, saying <0559> (8800),
2 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.
3 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> .
4 # 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).
5 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).
6 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.
7 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> .
8 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?
9 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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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>.
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>.
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>.
