1 Now the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came unto Jonah 3124 the son 1121 of Amittai 573, saying 559,
2 Arise 6965, go 3212 to Nineveh 5210, that great 1419 city 5892, and cry 7121 against it; for their wickedness 7451 is come up 5927 before 6440 me.
3 But Jonah 3124 rose up 6965 to flee 1272 unto Tarshish 8659 from the presence 6440 of the LORD 3068, and went down 3381 to Joppa 3305; and he found 4672 a ship 591 going 935 to Tarshish 8659: so he paid 5414 the fare 7939 thereof, and went down 3381 into it, to go 935 with them unto Tarshish 8659 from the presence 6440 of the LORD 3068.
4 But the LORD 3068 sent out 2904 a great 1419 wind 7307 into the sea 3220, and there was a mighty 1419 tempest 5591 in the sea 3220, so that the ship 591 was like 2803 to be broken 7665.
5 Then the mariners 4419 were afraid 3372, and cried 2199 every man 376 unto his god 430, and cast forth 2904 the wares 3627 that were in the ship 591 into the sea 3220, to lighten 7043 it of them. But Jonah 3124 was gone down 3381 into the sides 3411 of the ship 5600; and he lay 7901, and was fast asleep 7290.
6 So the shipmaster 7227 2259 came 7126 to him, and said 559 unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper 7290? arise 6965, call 7121 upon thy God 430, if so be that God 430 will think 6245 upon us, that we perish 6 not.
7 And they said 559 every one 376 to his fellow 7453, Come 3212, and let us cast 5307 lots 1486, that we may know 3045 for whose cause 7945 this evil 7451 is upon us. So they cast 5307 lots 1486, and the lot 1486 fell 5307 upon Jonah 3124.
8 Then said 559 they unto him, Tell 5046 us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil 7451 is upon us; What is thine occupation 4399? and whence 370 comest 935 thou? what is thy country 776? and of what people 5971 art thou?
9 And he said 559 unto them, I am an Hebrew 5680; and I fear 3373 the LORD 3068, the God 430 of heaven 8064, which hath made 6213 the sea 3220 and the dry 3004 land.
10 Then were the men 582 exceedingly 1419 3374 afraid 3372, and said 559 unto him, Why hast thou done 6213 this? For the men 582 knew 3045 that he fled 1272 from the presence 6440 of the LORD 3068, because he had told 5046 them.
11 Then said 559 they unto him, What shall we do 6213 unto thee, that the sea 3220 may be calm 8367 unto us? for the sea 3220 wrought 1980, and was tempestuous 5590.
12 And he said 559 unto them, Take me up 5375, and cast me forth 2904 into the sea 3220; so shall the sea 3220 be calm 8367 unto you: for I know 3045 that for my sake 7945 this great 1419 tempest 5591 is upon you.
13 Nevertheless the men 582 rowed hard 2864 to bring 7725 it to the land 3004; but they could 3201 not: for the sea 3220 wrought 1980, and was tempestuous 5590 against them.
14 Wherefore they cried 7121 unto the LORD 3068, and said 559, We beseech thee 577, O LORD 3068, we beseech thee, let us not perish 6 for this man's 376 life 5315, and lay 5414 not upon us innocent 5355 5355 blood 1818: for thou, O LORD 3068, hast done 6213 as it pleased 2654 thee.
15 So they took up 5375 Jonah 3124, and cast him forth 2904 into the sea 3220: and the sea 3220 ceased 5975 from her raging 2197.
16 Then the men 582 feared 3372 the LORD 3068 exceedingly 1419 3374, and offered 2076 a sacrifice 2077 unto the LORD 3068, and made 5087 vows 5088.
17 Now the LORD 3068 had prepared 4487 a great 1419 fish 1709 to swallow up 1104 Jonah 3124. And Jonah 3124 was in the belly 4578 of the fish 1709 three 7969 days 3117 and three 7969 nights 3915.
