Jonah:1:2-6
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Arise ,
go to Nineveh ,
that great city ,
and cry against it ;
for their wickedness is come up before me .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
So the shipmaster rab #
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 .
