| 1:1 |
Now the word of theJehovah Lord came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, |
| 1:3 |
But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LordJehovah; and he went down to Joppa, and 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 LordJehovah. |
| 1:4 |
But theJehovah Lord sent out a great wind intoupon the sea, and there was a mighty tempest inon the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken. |
| 1:9 |
And he said unto them, I am ana Hebrew; and I fear the LordJehovah, the God of heaven, whichwho hath made the sea and the dry land. |
| 1:10 |
Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him, What is this that thou hast done? For the men knew that he fledwas fleeing from the presence of the LordJehovah, because he had told them. |
| 1:14 |
Wherefore they cried unto the LordJehovah, and said, We beseech thee, O LordJehovah, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this mans life, and lay not upon us innocent blood:; for thou, O LordJehovah, hast done as it pleased thee. |
| 1:15 |
So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea:; and the sea ceased from herits raging. |
| 1:16 |
Then the men feared theJehovah Lord exceedingly; and they offered a sacrifice unto the LordJehovah, and made vows. |
| 1:17 |
And theJehovah Lord prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah; and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. |
| 2:1 |
Then Jonah prayed unto theJehovah Lord his God out of the fishs belly. |
| 2:2 |
And he said, I called by reason of mine affliction unto the LordJehovah, andAnd he answered me; outOut of the belly of hellSheol cried I, andAnd thou heardest my voice. |
| 2:3 |
For thou didst cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, andAnd the flood was round about me; allAll thy waves and thy billows passed over me. |
| 2:4 |
And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes; yetYet I will look again toward thy holy temple. |
| 2:5 |
The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; theThe deep was round about me; theThe weeds were wrapped about my head. |
| 2:6 |
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; theThe earth with herits bars closed upon me for ever: yetYet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, O LordJehovah my God. |
| 2:7 |
When my soul fainted within me, I remembered theJehovah; Lord:And and my prayer came in unto thee, into thinethy holy temple. |
| 2:8 |
They that regard lying vanities forsakeForsake their own mercy. |
| 2:9 |
But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of the LordJehovah. |
| 2:10 |
And theJehovah Lord spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land. |
| 3:1 |
And the word of theJehovah Lord came unto Jonah the second time, saying, |
| 3:3 |
So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LordJehovah. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city, of three days journey. |
| 3:7 |
And he made proclamation and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anyanything; thing: let them not feed, nor drink water:; |
| 3:8 |
but let them be covered with sackcloth, both man and beast, and let them cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in theirhis hands. |
| 3:10 |
And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, which he said he would do unto them; and he did it not. |
| 4:2 |
And he prayed unto the LordJehovah, and said, I pray thee, O LordJehovah, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I hasted to flee unto Tarshish:; for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and full of compassionmerciful, slow to anger, and plenteousabundant in mercylovingkindness, and repentest thee of the evil. |
| 4:3 |
Therefore now, O LordJehovah, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live. |
| 4:4 |
And theJehovah Lord said, Doest thou well to be angry? |
| 4:5 |
Then 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 shadowshade, till he might see what would become of the city. |
| 4:6 |
And theJehovah Lord God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadowshade over his head, to deliver him from his evil case. So Jonah was exceeding glad because of the gourd. |
| 4:9 |
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. |
| 4:10 |
And theJehovah Lord said, Thou hast had pityregard onfor the gourd;, for the which thou hast not labouredlabored, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night: |
| 4:11 |
and should not I have pityregard onfor 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? |
