Jon 01 : 01 . Now the word <01697 +dabar > of the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > came <01961 +hayah > unto Jonah <03124 +Yonah > the son <01121 +ben > of Amittai <00573 +>Amittay > , saying <00559 +>amar > ,
Jon 01 : 02 Arise <06965 +quwm > , go <03212 +yalak > to Nineveh <05210 +Niyn@veh > , that great <01419 +gadowl > city <05892 +<iyr > , and cry <07121 +qara> > against <05921 +<al > it ; for their wickedness <07451 +ra< > is come <05927 +<alah > up before <06440 +paniym > me .
Jon 01 : 03 But Jonah <03124 +Yonah > rose <06965 +quwm > up to flee <01272 +barach > unto Tarshish <08659 +Tarshiysh > from the presence <06440 +paniym > of the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , and went <03381 +yarad > down <03381 +yarad > to Joppa <03305 +Yapho > ; and he found <04672 +matsa> > a ship <00591 +>oniyah > going <00935 +bow> > to Tarshish <08659 +Tarshiysh > : so he paid <05414 +nathan > the fare <07939 +sakar > thereof , and went <03381 +yarad > down <03381 +yarad > into it , to go <00935 +bow> > with them unto Tarshish <08659 +Tarshiysh > from the presence <06440 +paniym > of the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > .
Jon 01 : 04 . But the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > sent <02904 +tuwl > out a great <01419 +gadowl > wind <07307 +ruwach > into <00413 +>el > the sea <03220 +yam > , and there was a mighty <01419 +gadowl > tempest <05591 +ca<ar > in the sea <03220 +yam > , so that the ship <00591 +>oniyah > was like <02803 +chashab > to be broken <07665 +shabar > .
Jon 01 : 05 Then the mariners <04419 +mallach > were afraid <03372 +yare> > , and cried <02199 +za<aq > every man unto his god <00430 +>elohiym > , and cast <02904 +tuwl > forth <02904 +tuwl > the wares <03627 +k@liy > that [ were ] in the ship <00591 +>oniyah > into <00413 +>el > the sea <03220 +yam > , to lighten <07043 +qalal > [ it ] of them . But Jonah <03124 +Yonah > was gone <03381 +yarad > down <03381 +yarad > into <00413 +>el > the sides <03411 +y@rekah > of the ship <05600 +c@phiynah > ; and he lay <07901 +shakab > , and was fast asleep <07290 +radam > .
Jon 01 : 06 So the shipmaster came <07126 +qarab > to him , and said <00559 +>amar > unto him , What <04100 +mah > meanest thou , O sleeper <07290 +radam > ? arise <06965 +quwm > , call <07121 +qara> > upon thy God <00430 +>elohiym > , if <00194 +>uwlay > so be that God <00430 +>elohiym > will think <06245 +<ashath > upon us , that we perish <6> not .
Jon 01 : 07 And they said <00559 +>amar > every <00376 +>iysh > one <00376 +>iysh > to his fellow <07453 +rea< > , Come <03212 +yalak > , and let us cast <05307 +naphal > lots <01486 +gowral > , that we may know <03045 +yada< > for whose <04310 +miy > cause <07945 +shel > this <02063 +zo>th > evil <07451 +ra< > [ is ] upon us . So they cast <05307 +naphal > lots <01486 +gowral > , and the lot <01486 +gowral > fell <05307 +naphal > upon Jonah <03124 +Yonah > .
Jon 01 : 08 Then said <00559 +>amar > they unto him , Tell <05046 +nagad > us , we pray <04994 +na> > thee , for whose cause <00834 +>aher > this <02063 +zo>th > evil <07451 +ra< > [ is ] upon us ; What <04100 +mah > [ is ] thine occupation <04399 +m@la>kah > ? and whence <00370 +>aiyn > comest <00935 +bow> > thou ? what <04100 +mah > [ is ] thy country <00776 +>erets > ? and of what people <05971 +<am > [ art ] thou ?
Jon 01 : 09 And he said <00559 +>amar > unto them , I [ am ] an Hebrew <05680 +<Ibriy > ; and I fear <03373 +yare> > the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , the God <00430 +>elohiym > of heaven <08064 +shamayim > , which <00834 +>aher > hath made <06213 +<asah > the sea <03220 +yam > and the dry <03004 +yabbashah > [ land ] .
Jon 01 : 10 Then were the men <00582 +>enowsh > exceedingly <01419 +gadowl > afraid <03372 +yare> > , and said <00559 +>amar > unto him , Why <04100 +mah > hast thou done <06213 +<asah > this <02063 +zo>th > ? For the men <00582 +>enowsh > knew <03045 +yada< > that he fled <01272 +barach > from the presence <06440 +paniym > of the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , because <03588 +kiy > he had told <05046 +nagad > them .
Jon 01 : 11 . Then said <00559 +>amar > they unto him , What <04100 +mah > shall we do <06213 +<asah > unto thee , that the sea <03220 +yam > may be calm <08367 +shathaq > unto us ? for the sea <03220 +yam > wrought <01980 +halak > , and was tempestuous <05490 +cowph > .
Jon 01 : 12 And he said <00559 +>amar > unto them , Take <05375 +nasa> > me up , and cast <02904 +tuwl > me forth <02904 +tuwl > into <00413 +>el > the sea <03220 +yam > ; so shall the sea <03220 +yam > be calm <08367 +shathaq > unto you : for I know <03045 +yada< > that for my sake <07945 +shel > this great <01419 +gadowl > tempest <05591 +ca<ar > [ is ] upon you .
Jon 01 : 13 Nevertheless the men <00582 +>enowsh > rowed <02864 +chathar > hard to bring <07725 +shuwb > [ it ] to the land <03004 +yabbashah > ; but they could <03201 +yakol > not : for the sea <03220 +yam > wrought <01980 +halak > , and was tempestuous <05490 +cowph > against <05921 +<al > them .
Jon 01 : 14 Wherefore they cried <07121 +qara> > unto the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , and said <00559 +>amar > , We beseech <00577 +>anna> > thee , O LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , we beseech <00577 +>anna> > thee , let us not perish <6> for this <02088 +zeh > man s <00376 +>iysh > life <05315 +nephesh > , and lay <05414 +nathan > not upon us innocent <05355 +naqiy > blood <01818 +dam > : for thou , O LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , hast done <06213 +<asah > as it pleased <02654 +chaphets > thee .
Jon 01 : 15 So they took up Jonah <03124 +Yonah > , and cast <02904 +tuwl > him forth <02904 +tuwl > into <00413 +>el > the sea <03220 +yam > : and the sea <03220 +yam > ceased <05975 +<amad > from her raging <02197 +za<aph > .
Jon 01 : 16 Then the men <00582 +>enowsh > feared <03372 +yare> > the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > exceedingly <01419 +gadowl > , and offered <02076 +zabach > a sacrifice <02077 +zebach > unto the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , and made vows <05088 +neder > .
Jon 01 : 17 Now the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > had prepared <04487 +manah > a great <01419 +gadowl > fish <01709 +dag > to swallow <01104 +bala< > up Jonah <03124 +Yonah > . And Jonah <03124 +Yonah > was in the belly <04578 +me<ah > of the fish <01709 +dag > three <07969 +shalowsh > days <03117 +yowm > and three <07969 +shalowsh > nights <03915 +layil > .
Jon 02 : 01 . Then Jonah <03124 +Yonah > prayed <06419 +palal > unto the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > his God <00430 +>elohiym > out of the fish s <01710 +dagah > belly <04578 +me<ah > ,
Jon 02 : 02 And said <00559 +>amar > , I cried <07121 +qara> > by reason of mine affliction <06869 +tsarah > unto the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , and he heard <06030 +<anah > me ; out of the belly <00990 +beten > of hell <07585 +sh@>owl > cried <07768 +shava< > I , [ and ] thou heardest <08085 +shama< > my voice <06963 +qowl > .
Jon 02 : 03 For thou hadst cast <07993 +shalak > me into the deep <04688 +m@tsowlah > , in the midst <03824 +lebab > of the seas <03220 +yam > ; and the floods <05104 +nahar > compassed <05437 +cabab > me about : all <03605 +kol > thy billows <04867 +mishbar > and thy waves <01530 +gal > passed <05674 +<abar > over <05674 +<abar > me .
Jon 02 : 04 Then I said <00559 +>amar > , I am cast <01644 +garash > out of thy sight <05869 +<ayin > ; yet <00389 +>ak > I will look <05027 +nabat > again <03254 +yacaph > toward <00413 +>el > thy holy <06944 +qodesh > temple <01964 +heykal > .
Jon 02 : 05 The waters <04325 +mayim > compassed <00661 +>aphaph > me about , [ even ] to the soul <05315 +nephesh > : the depth <08415 +t@howm > closed <05437 +cabab > me round <05437 +cabab > about , the weeds <05488 +cuwph > were wrapped <02280 +chabash > about my head <07218 +ro>sh > .
Jon 02 : 06 I went <03381 +yarad > down <03381 +yarad > to the bottoms of the mountains <02022 +har > ; the earth <00776 +>erets > with her bars <01280 +b@riyach > [ was ] about <01157 +b@<ad > me for ever <05769 +<owlam > : yet hast thou brought <05927 +<alah > up my life <02416 +chay > from corruption <07845 +shachath > , O LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > my God <00430 +>elohiym > .
Jon 02 : 07 When my soul <05315 +nephesh > fainted <05848 +<ataph > within <05921 +<al > me I remembered <02142 +zakar > the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > : and my prayer <08605 +t@phillah > came <00935 +bow> > in unto thee , into <00413 +>el > thine holy <06944 +qodesh > temple <01964 +heykal > .
Jon 02 : 08 They that observe <08104 +shamar > lying <07723 +shav> > vanities <01892 +hebel > forsake <05800 +<azab > their own mercy <02617 +checed > .
Jon 02 : 09 But I will sacrifice <02076 +zabach > unto thee with the voice <06963 +qowl > of thanksgiving <08426 +towdah > ; I will pay <07999 +shalam > [ that ] that I have vowed <05087 +nadar > . Salvation <03444 +y@shuw<ah > [ is ] of the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > .
Jon 02 : 10 . And the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > spake <00559 +>amar > unto the fish <01709 +dag > , and it vomited <06958 +qow> > out Jonah <03124 +Yonah > upon the dry <03004 +yabbashah > [ land ] .
Jon 03 : 01 . And the word <01697 +dabar > of the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > came <01961 +hayah > unto Jonah <03124 +Yonah > the second <08145 +sheniy > time , saying <00559 +>amar > ,
Jon 03 : 02 Arise <06965 +quwm > , go <03312 +Y@phunneh > unto Nineveh <05210 +Niyn@veh > , that great <01419 +gadowl > city <05892 +<iyr > , and preach <07121 +qara> > unto it the preaching <07150 +q@riy>ah > that I bid <01696 +dabar > thee .
Jon 03 : 03 So Jonah <03124 +Yonah > arose <06965 +quwm > , and went <03212 +yalak > unto Nineveh <05210 +Niyn@veh > , according to the word <01697 +dabar > of the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > . Now Nineveh <05210 +Niyn@veh > was an exceeding <00430 +>elohiym > great <01419 +gadowl > city <05892 +<iyr > of three <07969 +shalowsh > days <03117 +yowm > journey <04109 +mahalak > .
Jon 03 : 04 And Jonah <03124 +Yonah > began <02490 +chalal > to enter <00935 +bow> > into the city <05892 +<iyr > a day s <03117 +yowm > journey <04109 +mahalak > , and he cried <07121 +qara> > , and said <00559 +>amar > , Yet <05750 +<owd > forty <00705 +>arba<iym > days <03117 +yowm > , and Nineveh <05210 +Niyn@veh > shall be overthrown <02015 +haphak > .
Jon 03 : 05 . So the people <00582 +>enowsh > of Nineveh <05210 +Niyn@veh > believed <00539 +>aman > God <00430 +>elohiym > , and proclaimed <07121 +qara> > a fast <06685 +tsowm > , and put <03847 +labash > on sackcloth <08242 +saq > , from the greatest <01419 +gadowl > of them even to the least <06996 +qatan > of them .
Jon 03 : 06 For word <01697 +dabar > came <05060 +naga< > unto the king <04428 +melek > of Nineveh <05210 +Niyn@veh > , and he arose <06965 +quwm > from his throne <03678 +kicce> > , and he laid <05674 +<abar > his robe <00155 +>addereth > from him , and covered <03680 +kacah > [ him ] with sackcloth <08242 +saq > , and sat <03427 +yashab > in ashes <00665 +>epher > .
Jon 03 : 07 And he caused [ it ] to be proclaimed <02199 +za<aq > and published <00559 +>amar > through Nineveh <05210 +Niyn@veh > by the decree <02940 +ta<am > of the king <04428 +melek > and his nobles <01419 +gadowl > , saying <00559 +>amar > , Let neither <00369 +>ayin > man <00120 +>adam > nor beast <00929 +b@hemah > , herd <01241 +baqar > nor flock <06629 +tso>n > , taste <02938 +ta<am > any <03792 +k@thab > thing : let them not feed <07462 +ra<ah > , nor <00408 +>al > drink <08354 +shathah > water <04325 +mayim > :
Jon 03 : 08 But let man <00120 +>adam > and beast <00929 +b@hemah > be covered <03680 +kacah > with sackcloth <08242 +saq > , and cry <07121 +qara> > mightily <02393 +chezqah > unto God <00430 +>elohiym > : yea , let them turn <07725 +shuwb > every <00376 +>iysh > one <00376 +>iysh > from his evil <07451 +ra< > way <01870 +derek > , and from the violence <02555 +chamac > that [ is ] in their hands <03709 +kaph > .
Jon 03 : 09 Who <04310 +miy > can tell <03045 +yada< > [ if ] God <00430 +>elohiym > will turn <07725 +shuwb > and repent <05162 +nacham > , and turn <07725 +shuwb > away from his fierce <02740 +charown > anger <00639 +>aph > , that we perish <6> not ?
Jon 03 : 10 And God <00430 +>elohiym > saw <07200 +ra>ah > their works <04639 +ma<aseh > , that they turned <07725 +shuwb > from their evil <07451 +ra< > way <01870 +derek > ; and God <00430 +>elohiym > repented <05162 +nacham > of the evil <07451 +ra< > , that he had said <01696 +dabar > that he would do <06213 +<asah > unto them ; and he did <06213 +<asah > [ it ] not .
Jon 04 : 01 . But it displeased Jonah <03124 +Yonah > exceedingly <01419 +gadowl > , and he was very angry <02734 +charah > .
Jon 04 : 02 And he prayed <06419 +palal > unto the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , and said <00559 +>amar > , I pray <00577 +>anna> > thee , O LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , [ was ] not this <02088 +zeh > my saying <01697 +dabar > , when <05704 +<ad > I was yet <05704 +<ad > in my country <00127 +>adamah > ? Therefore I fled <01272 +barach > before <06924 +qedem > unto Tarshish <08659 +Tarshiysh > : for I knew <03045 +yada< > that thou [ art ] a gracious <02587 +channuwn > God <00410 +>el > , and merciful <07349 +rachuwm > , slow <00750 +>arek > to anger <00639 +>aph > , and of great <07227 +rab > kindness <02617 +checed > , and repentest <05162 +nacham > thee of the evil <07451 +ra< > .
Jon 04 : 03 Therefore now <06258 +<attah > , O LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , take <03947 +laqach > , I beseech <04994 +na> > thee , my life <05315 +nephesh > from me ; for [ it is ] better <02896 +towb > for me to die <04194 +maveth > than to live <02416 +chay > .
Jon 04 : 04 Then said <00559 +>amar > the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , Doest thou well <03190 +yatab > to be angry <02734 +charah > ?
Jon 04 : 05 . So Jonah <03124 +Yonah > went <03318 +yatsa> > out of the city <05892 +<iyr > , and sat <03427 +yashab > on the east <06924 +qedem > side <06924 +qedem > of the city <05892 +<iyr > , and there <08033 +sham > made <06213 +<asah > him a booth <05521 +cukkah > , and sat <03427 +yashab > under <08478 +tachath > it in the shadow <06738 +tsel > , till <05704 +<ad > he might see <07200 +ra>ah > what <04100 +mah > would become <01961 +hayah > of the city <05892 +<iyr > .
Jon 04 : 06 And the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > God <00430 +>elohiym > prepared <04487 +manah > a gourd <07021 +qiyqayown > , and made [ it ] to come <05927 +<alah > up over <05921 +<al > Jonah <03124 +Yonah > , that it might be a shadow <06738 +tsel > over <05921 +<al > his head <07218 +ro>sh > , to deliver <05337 +natsal > him from his grief <07451 +ra< > . So Jonah <03124 +Yonah > was exceeding <01419 +gadowl > glad <08056 +sameach > of the gourd <07021 +qiyqayown > .
Jon 04 : 07 But God <00430 +>elohiym > prepared <04487 +manah > a worm <08438 +towla< > when the morning <07837 +shachar > rose <05927 +<alah > the next <04283 +mochorath > day <04283 +mochorath > , and it smote <05221 +nakah > the gourd <07021 +qiyqayown > that it withered <03001 +yabesh > .
Jon 04 : 08 And it came <01961 +hayah > to pass , when the sun <08121 +shemesh > did arise <02224 +zarach > , that God <00430 +>elohiym > prepared <04487 +manah > a vehement <02759 +chariyshiy > east <06921 +qadiym > wind <07307 +ruwach > ; and the sun <08121 +shemesh > beat <05221 +nakah > upon the head <07218 +ro>sh > of Jonah <03124 +Yonah > , that he fainted <05968 +<alaph > , and wished <07592 +sha>al > in himself to die <04191 +muwth > , and said <00559 +>amar > , [ It is ] better <02896 +towb > for me to die <04191 +muwth > than to live <02416 +chay > .
Jon 04 : 09 And God <00430 +>elohiym > said <00559 +>amar > to Jonah <03124 +Yonah > , Doest thou well <03190 +yatab > to be angry <02734 +charah > for the gourd <07021 +qiyqayown > ? And he said <00559 +>amar > , I do well <03190 +yatab > to be angry <02734 +charah > , [ even ] unto death <04194 +maveth > .
Jon 04 : 10 Then said <00559 +>amar > the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , Thou hast had pity <02347 +chuwc > on <05921 +<al > the gourd <07021 +qiyqayown > , for the which <00834 +>aher > thou hast not laboured <05998 +<amal > , neither <03808 +lo> > madest it grow <01431 +gadal > ; which came <01961 +hayah > up in a night <03915 +layil > , and perished <6> in a night <03915 +layil > :
Jon 04 : 11 And should not I spare <02347 +chuwc > Nineveh <05210 +Niyn@veh > , that great <01419 +gadowl > city <05892 +<iyr > , wherein are more <07227 +rab > than sixscore thousand <07239 +ribbow > persons <00120 +>adam > that cannot <03808 +lo> > discern <03045 +yada< > between <00996 +beyn > their right <03225 +yamiyn > hand <03235 +yamar > and their left <08040 +s@mo>wl > hand <08040 +s@mo>wl > ; and [ also ] much <07227 +rab > cattle <00929 +b@hemah > ?
