@ 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
.
