Jonah 1

1. Now the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto

Jonah <03124> the son <01121> of Amittai <0573>, saying <0559>,

2 Arise <06965>, go <03212> to Nineveh <05210>, that great

<01419> city <05892>, and cry <07121> against <05921> it; for

their wickedness <07451> is come <05927> up before <06440> me.

3 But Jonah <03124> rose <06965> up to flee <01272> unto

Tarshish <08659> from the presence <06440> of the LORD <03068>,

and went <03381> down <03381> to Joppa <03305>; and he found

<04672> a ship <0591> going <0935> to Tarshish <08659>: so he

paid <05414> the fare <07939> thereof, and went <03381> down

<03381> into it, to go <0935> with them unto Tarshish <08659>

from the presence <06440> of the LORD <03068>.

4. But the LORD <03068> sent <02904> out a great <01419> wind

<07307> into <0413> the sea <03220>, and there was a mighty

<01419> tempest <05591> in the sea <03220>, so that the ship

<0591> was like <02803> to be broken <07665>.

5 Then the mariners <04419> were afraid <03372>, and cried

<02199> every man unto his god <0430>, and cast <02904> forth

<02904> the wares <03627> that [were] in the ship <0591> into

<0413> the sea <03220>, to lighten <07043> [it] of them. But

Jonah <03124> was gone <03381> down <03381> into <0413> the

sides <03411> of the ship <05600>; and he lay <07901>, and was

fast asleep <07290>.

6 So the shipmaster came <07126> to him, and said <0559> unto

him, What <04100> meanest thou, O sleeper <07290>? arise <06965>,

call <07121> upon thy God <0430>, if <0194> so be that God

<0430> will think <06245> upon us, that we perish <06> not.

7 And they said <0559> every <0376> one <0376> to his fellow

<07453>, Come <03212>, and let us cast <05307> lots <01486>,

that we may know <03045> for whose <04310> cause <07945> this

<02063> evil <07451> [is] upon us. So they cast <05307> lots

<01486>, and the lot <01486> fell <05307> upon Jonah <03124>.

8 Then said <0559> they unto him, Tell <05046> us, we pray

<04994> thee, for whose cause <0834> this <02063> evil <07451>

[is] upon us; What <04100> [is] thine occupation <04399>? and

whence <0370> comest <0935> thou? what <04100> [is] thy country

<0776>? and of what people <05971> [art] thou?

9 And he said <0559> unto them, I [am] an Hebrew <05680>; and

I fear <03373> the LORD <03068>, the God <0430> of heaven

<08064>, which <0834> hath made <06213> the sea <03220> and the

dry <03004> [land].

10 Then were the men <0582> exceedingly <01419> afraid <03372>,

and said <0559> unto him, Why <04100> hast thou done <06213>

this <02063>? For the men <0582> knew <03045> that he fled

<01272> from the presence <06440> of the LORD <03068>, because

<03588> he had told <05046> them.

11. Then said <0559> they unto him, What <04100> shall we do

<06213> unto thee, that the sea <03220> may be calm <08367> unto

us? for the sea <03220> wrought <01980>, and was tempestuous

<05490>.

12 And he said <0559> unto them, Take <05375> me up, and cast

<02904> me forth <02904> into <0413> the sea <03220>; so shall

the sea <03220> be calm <08367> unto you: for I know <03045>

that for my sake <07945> this great <01419> tempest <05591> [is]

upon you.

13 Nevertheless the men <0582> rowed <02864> hard to bring

<07725> [it] to the land <03004>; but they could <03201> not:

for the sea <03220> wrought <01980>, and was tempestuous <05490>

against <05921> them.

14 Wherefore they cried <07121> unto the LORD <03068>, and

said <0559>, We beseech <0577> thee, O LORD <03068>, we beseech

<0577> thee, let us not perish <06> for this <02088> man's

<0376> life <05315>, and lay <05414> not upon us innocent

<05355> blood <01818>: for thou, O LORD <03068>, hast done

<06213> as it pleased <02654> thee.

15 So they took up Jonah <03124>, and cast <02904> him forth

<02904> into <0413> the sea <03220>: and the sea <03220> ceased

<05975> from her raging <02197>.

16 Then the men <0582> feared <03372> the LORD <03068>

exceedingly <01419>, and offered <02076> a sacrifice <02077>

unto the LORD <03068>, and made vows <05088>.

17 Now the LORD <03068> had prepared <04487> a great <01419>

fish <01709> to swallow <01104> up Jonah <03124>. And Jonah

<03124> was in the belly <04578> of the fish <01709> three

<07969> days <03117> and three <07969> nights <03915>.

Jonah 2

1. Then Jonah <03124> prayed <06419> unto the LORD <03068> his

God <0430> out of the fish's <01710> belly <04578>,

2 And said <0559>, I cried <07121> by reason of mine

affliction <06869> unto the LORD <03068>, and he heard <06030>

me; out of the belly <0990> of hell <07585> cried <07768> I,

[and] thou heardest <08085> my voice <06963>.

3 For thou hadst cast <07993> me into the deep <04688>, in the

midst <03824> of the seas <03220>; and the floods <05104>

compassed <05437> me about: all <03605> thy billows <04867> and

thy waves <01530> passed <05674> over <05674> me.

4 Then I said <0559>, I am cast <01644> out of thy sight

<05869>; yet <0389> I will look <05027> again <03254> toward

<0413> thy holy <06944> temple <01964>.

5 The waters <04325> compassed <0661> me about, [even] to the

soul <05315>: the depth <08415> closed <05437> me round <05437>

about, the weeds <05488> were wrapped <02280> about my head

<07218>.

6 I went <03381> down <03381> to the bottoms of the mountains

<02022>; the earth <0776> with her bars <01280> [was] about

<01157> me for ever <05769>: yet hast thou brought <05927> up my

life <02416> from corruption <07845>, O LORD <03068> my God

<0430>.

7 When my soul <05315> fainted <05848> within <05921> me I

remembered <02142> the LORD <03068>: and my prayer <08605> came

<0935> in unto thee, into <0413> thine holy <06944> temple

<01964>.

8 They that observe <08104> lying <07723> vanities <01892>

forsake <05800> their own mercy <02617>.

9 But I will sacrifice <02076> unto thee with the voice

<06963> of thanksgiving <08426>; I will pay <07999> [that] that

I have vowed <05087>. Salvation <03444> [is] of the LORD <03068>.

10. And the LORD <03068> spake <0559> unto the fish <01709>,

and it vomited <06958> out Jonah <03124> upon the dry <03004>

[land].

Jonah 3

1. And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came <01961> unto

Jonah <03124> the second <08145> time, saying <0559>,

2 Arise <06965>, go <03312> unto Nineveh <05210>, that great

<01419> city <05892>, and preach <07121> unto it the preaching

<07150> that I bid <01696> thee.

3 So Jonah <03124> arose <06965>, and went <03212> 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>.

4 And Jonah <03124> began <02490> to enter <0935> into the

city <05892> a day's <03117> journey <04109>, and he cried

<07121>, and said <0559>, Yet <05750> forty <0705> days <03117>,

and Nineveh <05210> shall be overthrown <02015>.

5. So the people <0582> of Nineveh <05210> believed <0539> God

<0430>, and proclaimed <07121> a fast <06685>, and put <03847>

on sackcloth <08242>, from the greatest <01419> of them even to

the least <06996> of them.

6 For word <01697> came <05060> unto the king <04428> of

Nineveh <05210>, and he arose <06965> from his throne <03678>,

and he laid <05674> his robe <0155> from him, and covered

<03680> [him] with sackcloth <08242>, and sat <03427> in ashes

<0665>.

7 And he caused [it] to be proclaimed <02199> and published

<0559> through Nineveh <05210> by the decree <02940> of the king

<04428> and his nobles <01419>, saying <0559>, Let neither

<0369> man <0120> nor beast <0929>, herd <01241> nor flock

<06629>, taste <02938> any <03792> thing: let them not feed

<07462>, nor <0408> drink <08354> water <04325>:

8 But let man <0120> and beast <0929> be covered <03680> with

sackcloth <08242>, and cry <07121> mightily <02393> unto God

<0430>: yea, let them turn <07725> every <0376> one <0376> from

his evil <07451> way <01870>, and from the violence <02555> that

[is] in their hands <03709>.

9 Who <04310> can tell <03045> [if] God <0430> will turn

<07725> and repent <05162>, and turn <07725> away from his

fierce <02740> anger <0639>, that we perish <06> not?

10 And God <0430> saw <07200> their works <04639>, that they

turned <07725> from their evil <07451> way <01870>; and God

<0430> repented <05162> of the evil <07451>, that he had said

<01696> that he would do <06213> unto them; and he did <06213>

[it] not.

Jonah 4

1. But it displeased Jonah <03124> exceedingly <01419>, and he

was very angry <02734>.

2 And he prayed <06419> unto the LORD <03068>, and said <0559>,

I pray <0577> thee, O LORD <03068>, [was] not this <02088> my

saying <01697>, when <05704> I was yet <05704> in my country

<0127>? Therefore I fled <01272> before <06924> unto Tarshish

<08659>: for I knew <03045> 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>

thee of the evil <07451>.

3 Therefore now <06258>, O LORD <03068>, take <03947>, I

beseech <04994> thee, my life <05315> from me; for [it is]

better <02896> for me to die <04194> than to live <02416>.

4 Then said <0559> the LORD <03068>, Doest thou well <03190>

to be angry <02734>?

5. So Jonah <03124> went <03318> out of the city <05892>, and

sat <03427> on the east <06924> side <06924> of the city <05892>,

and there <08033> made <06213> him a booth <05521>, and sat

<03427> under <08478> it in the shadow <06738>, till <05704> he

might see <07200> what <04100> would become <01961> of the city

<05892>.

6 And the LORD <03068> God <0430> prepared <04487> a gourd

<07021>, and made [it] to come <05927> up over <05921> Jonah

<03124>, that it might be a shadow <06738> over <05921> his head

<07218>, to deliver <05337> him from his grief <07451>. So Jonah

<03124> was exceeding <01419> glad <08056> of the gourd <07021>.

7 But God <0430> prepared <04487> a worm <08438> when the

morning <07837> rose <05927> the next <04283> day <04283>, and

it smote <05221> the gourd <07021> that it withered <03001>.

8 And it came <01961> to pass, when the sun <08121> did arise

<02224>, that God <0430> prepared <04487> a vehement <02759>

east <06921> wind <07307>; and the sun <08121> beat <05221> upon

the head <07218> of Jonah <03124>, that he fainted <05968>, and

wished <07592> in himself to die <04191>, and said <0559>, [It

is] better <02896> for me to die <04191> than to live <02416>.

9 And God <0430> said <0559> to Jonah <03124>, Doest thou well

<03190> to be angry <02734> for the gourd <07021>? And he said

<0559>, I do well <03190> to be angry <02734>, [even] unto death

<04194>.

10 Then said <0559> the LORD <03068>, Thou hast had pity

<02347> on <05921> the gourd <07021>, for the which <0834> thou

hast not laboured <05998>, neither <03808> madest it grow

<01431>; which came <01961> up in a night <03915>, and perished

<06> in a night <03915>:

11 And should not I spare <02347> Nineveh <05210>, that great

<01419> city <05892>, wherein are more <07227> than sixscore

thousand <07239> persons <0120> that cannot <03808> discern

<03045> between <0996> their right <03225> hand <03235> and

their left <08040> hand <08040>; and [also] much <07227> cattle

<0929>?
