strkjv@Jonah:1:1
@ Now the
word
of the
LORD
came unto
Jonah
the
son
of
Amittai
,
saying
,
strkjv@Jonah:1:2
@
Arise
,
go
to
Nineveh
, that
great
city
, and
cry
against it; for their
wickedness
is come
up
before
me.
strkjv@Jonah:1:3
@ But
Jonah
rose
up
to
flee
unto
Tarshish
from the
presence
of the
LORD
, and went
down
to
Joppa
; and he
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
LORD
.
strkjv@Jonah:1:4
@ But the
LORD
sent
out
a
great
wind
into the
sea
, and there was a
mighty
tempest
in the
sea
, so that the
ship
was
like
to be
broken
.
strkjv@Jonah:1:5
@ Then the
mariners
were
afraid
, and
cried
every
man
unto his
god
, and cast
forth
the
wares
that were in the
ship
into the
sea
, to
lighten
it of them. But
Jonah
was gone
down
into the
sides
of the
ship
; and he
lay
, and was fast
asleep
.
strkjv@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.
strkjv@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
.
strkjv@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
m@? and
whence
comest
thou? what is thy
country
? and of what
people
art thou?
strkjv@Jonah:1:9
@ And he
said
unto them, I am an
Hebrew
; and I
fear
the
LORD
, the
God
of
heaven
, which hath
made
the
sea
and the
dry
land.
strkjv@Jonah:1:10
@ Then were the
men
exceedingly
afraid
, and
said
unto him, Why hast thou
done
this? For the
men
knew
that he
fled
from the
presence
of the
LORD
, because he had
told
them.
strkjv@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
wrought
, and was
tempestuous
.
strkjv@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.
strkjv@Jonah:1:13
@ Nevertheless the
men
rowed
hard
to
bring
it to the
land
; but they
could
not: for the
sea
wrought
, and was
tempestuous
against them.
strkjv@Jonah:1:14
@ Wherefore they
cried
unto the
LORD
, and
said
, We beseech
thee
, O
LORD
, we beseech thee, let us not
perish
for this
mans
life
, and
lay
not upon us
innocent
blood
: for thou, O
LORD
, hast
done
as it
pleased
thee.
strkjv@Jonah:1:15
@ So they took
up
Jonah
, and cast him
forth
into the
sea
: and the
sea
ceased
from her
raging
.
strkjv@Jonah:1:16
@ Then the
men
feared
the
LORD
exceedingly
, and
offered
a
sacrifice
unto the
LORD
, and
made
vows
.
strkjv@Jonah:1:17
@ Now the
LORD
had
prepared
a
great
fish
to swallow
up
Jonah
. And
Jonah
was in the
belly
of the
fish
three
days
and
three
nights
.
strkjv@Jonah:2:1
@ Then
Jonah
prayed
unto the
LORD
his
God
out of the
fishs
belly
,
strkjv@Jonah:2:2
@ And
said
, I
cried
by reason of mine
affliction
unto the
LORD
, and he
heard
me; out of the
belly
of
hell
cried
I, and thou
heardest
my
voice
.
strkjv@Jonah:2:3
@ For thou hadst
cast
me into the
deep
, in the
midst
of the
seas
; and the
floods
compassed
me about: all thy
billows
and thy
waves
passed
over
me.
strkjv@Jonah:2:4
@ Then I
said
, I am cast
out
of thy
sight
; yet I will
look
again
toward thy
holy
temple
.
strkjv@Jonah:2:5
@ The
waters
compassed me
about
, even to the
soul
: the
depth
closed me round
about
, the
weeds
were wrapped
about
my
head
.
strkjv@Jonah:2:6
@ I went
down
to the
bottoms
of the
mountains
; the
earth
with her
bars
was about me for
ever
: yet hast thou brought
up
my
life
from
corruption
, O
LORD
my
God
.
strkjv@Jonah:2:7
@ When my
soul
fainted
within me I
remembered
the
LORD
: and my
prayer
came
in
unto thee, into thine
holy
temple
.
strkjv@Jonah:2:8
@ They that
observe
lying
vanities
forsake
their own
mercy
.
strkjv@Jonah:2:9
@ But I will
sacrifice
unto thee with the
voice
of
thanksgiving
; I will
pay
that that I have
vowed
.
Salvation
is of the
LORD
.
strkjv@Jonah:2:10
@ And the
LORD
spake
unto the
fish
, and it vomited
out
Jonah
upon the
dry
land.
strkjv@Jonah:3:1
@ And the
word
of the
LORD
came unto
Jonah
the
second
time,
saying
,
strkjv@Jonah:3:2
@
Arise
,
go
unto
Nineveh
, that
great
city
, and
preach
unto it the
preaching
that I
bid
thee.
strkjv@Jonah:3:3
@ So
Jonah
arose
, and
went
unto
Nineveh
, according to the
word
of the
LORD
. Now
Nineveh
was an
exceeding
great
city
of
three
days
journey
.
strkjv@Jonah:3:4
@ And
Jonah
began
to
enter
into the
city
a
days
journey
, and he
cried
, and
said
, Yet
forty
days
, and
Nineveh
shall be
overthrown
.
strkjv@Jonah:3:5
@ So the
people
of
Nineveh
believed
God
, and
proclaimed
a
fast
, and
put
on
sackcloth
, from the
greatest
of them even to the
least
of them.
strkjv@Jonah:3:6
@ For
word
came
unto the
king
of
Nineveh
, and he
arose
from his
throne
, and he
laid
his
robe
from him, and
covered
him with
sackcloth
, and
sat
in
ashes
.
strkjv@Jonah:3:7
@ And he caused it to be
proclaimed
and
published
through
Nineveh
by the
decree
of the
king
and his
nobles
,
saying
, Let neither
man
nor
beast
,
herd
nor
flock
,
taste
any
thing
: let them not
feed
, nor
drink
water
:
strkjv@Jonah:3:8
@ But let
man
and
beast
be
covered
with
sackcloth
, and
cry
mightily
unto
God
: yea, let them
turn
every
one
from his
evil
way
, and from the
violence
that is in their
hands
.
strkjv@Jonah:3:9
@ Who can
tell
if
God
will
turn
and
repent
, and turn
away
from his
fierce
anger
, that we
perish
not?
strkjv@Jonah:3:10
@ And
God
saw
their
works
, that they
turned
from their
evil
way
; and
God
repented
of the
evil
, that he had
said
that he would
do
unto them; and he
did
it not.
strkjv@Jonah:4:1
@ But it
displeased
Jonah
exceedingly
, and he was very
angry
.
strkjv@Jonah:4:2
@ And he
prayed
unto the
LORD
, and
said
, I
pray
thee, O
LORD
, was not this my
saying
, when I was yet in my
country
? Therefore I
fled
before
unto
Tarshish
: for I
knew
that thou art a
gracious
God
, and
merciful
,
slow
to
anger
, and of
great
kindness
, and
repentest
thee of the
evil
.
strkjv@Jonah:4:3
@ Therefore now, O
LORD
,
take
, I beseech thee, my
life
from me; for it is
better
for me to
die
than to
live
.
strkjv@Jonah:4:4
@ Then
said
the
LORD
, Doest thou
well
to be
angry
?
strkjv@Jonah:4:5
@ So
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
shadow
, till he might
see
what would become of the
city
.
strkjv@Jonah:4:6
@ And the
LORD
God
prepared
a
gourd
, and made it to come
up
over
Jonah
, that it might be a
shadow
over his
head
, to
deliver
him from his
grief
. So
Jonah
was
exceeding
glad
of the
gourd
.
strkjv@Jonah:4:7
@ But
God
prepared
a
worm
when the
morning
rose
the next
day
, and it
smote
the
gourd
that it
withered
.
strkjv@Jonah:4:8
@ And it came to pass, when the
sun
did
arise
, that
God
prepared
a
vehement
east
wind
; and the
sun
beat
upon the
head
of
Jonah
, that he
fainted
, and
wished
in
himself
to
die
, and
said
, It is
better
for me to
die
than to
live
.
strkjv@Jonah: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
.
strkjv@Jonah:4:10
@ Then
said
the
LORD
, Thou hast had
pity
on the
gourd
, for the which thou hast not
laboured
, neither madest it
grow
; which came up in a
night
, and
perished
in a
night
:
strkjv@Jonah:4:11
@ And should not I
spare
Nineveh
, that
great
city
, wherein
are
more
than
sixscore
sh@
thousand
persons
that cannot
discern
between their right
hand
and their left
hand
s@; and also
much
cattle
