Jonah 1:1
|
|
Now the word of Jehovah came unto Jonah the
son of Amittai, saying, |
|
|
|
|
|
Jonah 1:2
|
|
Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry
against it; for their wickedness is come up before me. |
| |
|
|
|
Jonah 1:3
|
|
But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from
the presence of Jehovah; 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 Jehovah. |
| |
|
|
|
Jonah 1:4
|
|
But
Jehovah sent out a great wind upon the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on
the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken. |
| |
|
|
|
Jonah 1:5
|
|
Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every
man unto his god; and they cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the
sea, to lighten it unto them. But Jonah was gone down into the innermost parts
of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep. |
| |
|
|
|
Jonah 1:6
|
|
So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto
him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God
will think upon us, that we perish not. |
| |
|
|
|
Jonah 1:7
|
|
And they said every one to his fellow, Come,
and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. So
they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah. |
|
|
|
|
Jonah 1:8
|
|
Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee,
for whose cause this evil is upon us; what is thine occupation? and whence comest
thou? what is thy country? and of what people art thou? |
|
|
|
|
Jonah 1:9
|
|
And he said unto them, I am a Hebrew; and I
fear Jehovah, the God of heaven, who hath made the sea and the dry land. |
|
|
|
|
Jonah 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 was fleeing
from the presence of Jehovah, because he had told them. |
|
|
|
|
Jonah 1:11
|
|
Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto
thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea grew more and more tempestuous.
|
|
|
|
|
Jonah 1:12
|
|
And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast
me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for
my sake this great tempest is upon you. |
|
|
|
|
Jonah 1:13
|
|
Nevertheless the men rowed hard to get them
back to the land; but they could not: for the sea grew more and more tempestuous
against them. |
|
|
|
|
Jonah 1:14
|
|
Wherefore they cried unto Jehovah, and said,
We beseech thee, O Jehovah, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man's
life, and lay not upon us innocent blood; for thou, O Jehovah, hast done as it
pleased thee. |
|
|
|
|
Jonah 1:15
|
|
So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into
the sea; and the sea ceased from its raging. |
|
|
|
|
Jonah 1:16
|
|
Then the men feared Jehovah exceedingly; and
they offered a sacrifice unto Jehovah, and made vows. |
|
|
|
|
Jonah 1:17
|
|
And Jehovah prepared a great fish to swallow
up Jonah; and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. |
