Jonah 1:1 Now the word1697 of the LORD3068 came unto Jonah3124{Called Matth. 12.39 Jonas} the son1121 of Amittai,573 saying,5592 Arise,6965 go3212 to Nineveh,5210 that great1419 city,5892 and cry7121 against it; for their wickedness7451 is come up5927 before6440 me.
3 But Jonah3124 rose up6965 to flee1272 unto Tarshish8659 from the presence6440 of the LORD,3068 and went down3381 to Joppa;3305 and he found4672 a ship591 going935 to Tarshish:8659 so he paid5414 the fare7939 thereof, and went down3381 into it, to go935 with them unto Tarshish8659 from the presence6440 of the LORD.3068
Jonah 1:4 But the LORD3068 sent out2904{Heb. cast forth} a great1419 wind7307 into the sea,3220 and there was a mighty1419 tempest5591 in the sea,3220 so that the ship591 was like2803 to be broken.7665{Heb. thought to be broken}5 Then the mariners4419 were afraid,3372 and cried2199 every man376 unto his god,430 and cast forth2904 the wares3627 that were in the ship591 into the sea,3220 to lighten7043it of them. But Jonah3124 was gone down3381 into the sides3411 of the ship;5600 and he lay,7901 and was fast asleep.72906 So the shipmaster72272259 came7126 to him, and said559 unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper?7290 arise,6965 call7121 upon thy God,430 if so be that God430 will think6245 upon us, that we perish6 not.
7 And they said559 every one376 to his fellow,7453 Come,3212 and let us cast5307 lots,1486 that we may know3045 for whose cause7945 this evil7451is upon us. So they cast5307 lots,1486 and the lot1486 fell5307 upon Jonah.31248 Then said559 they unto him, Tell5046 us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil7451is upon us; What is thine occupation?4399 and whence370 comest935 thou? what is thy country?776 and of what people5971art thou?
9 And he said559 unto them, I am an Hebrew;5680 and I fear3373 the LORD,3068{Or, JEHOVAH} the God430 of heaven,8064 which hath made6213 the sea3220 and the dry3004land.10 Then were the men582 exceedingly14193374 afraid,3372{Heb. with great fear} and said559 unto him, Why hast thou done6213 this? For the men582 knew3045 that he fled1272 from the presence6440 of the LORD,3068 because he had told5046 them.
Jonah 1:11 Then said559 they unto him, What shall we do6213 unto thee, that the sea3220 may be calm8367 unto us?{Heb. may be silent unto us} for the sea3220 wrought,1980 and was tempestuous.5590{Or grew more and more tempestuous. Heb. went}12 And he said559 unto them, Take me up,5375 and cast me forth2904 into the sea;3220 so shall the sea3220 be calm8367 unto you: for I know3045 that for my sake7945 this great1419 tempest5591is upon you.
13 Nevertheless the men582 rowed{Heb. digged} hard2864 to bring7725it to the land;3004 but they could3201 not: for the sea3220 wrought,1980 and was tempestuous5590 against them.
14 Wherefore they cried7121 unto the LORD,3068 and said,559 We beseech thee,577 O LORD,3068 we beseech thee, let us not perish6 for this man's376 life,5315 and lay5414 not upon us innocent53555355 blood:1818 for thou, O LORD,3068 hast done6213 as it pleased2654 thee.
15 So they took up5375 Jonah,3124 and cast him forth2904 into the sea:3220 and the sea3220 ceased5975{Heb. stood} from her raging.219716 Then the men582 feared3372 the LORD3068 exceedingly,14193374 and offered2076 a sacrifice2077 unto the LORD,3068 and made5087 vows.5088{Heb. sacrifice unto the LORD, and vowed vows}
Jonah 1:17 Now the LORD3068 had prepared4487 a great1419 fish1709 to swallow up1104 Jonah.3124 And Jonah3124 was in the belly4578{Heb. bowels} of the fish1709 three7969 days3117 and three7969 nights.3915
