jps@Jonah:1:2 @ 'Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and proclaim against it; for their wickedness is come up before Me.'

jps@Jonah:1:3 @ But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD; 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 the LORD.

jps@Jonah:1:4 @ But the LORD hurled a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.

jps@Jonah:1:5 @ And 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.

jps@Jonah:1:6 @ So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him: 'What meanest thou that thou sleepest? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not.'

jps@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.

jps@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?'

jps@Jonah:1:9 @ And he said unto them: 'I am an Hebrew; and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, who hath made the sea and the dry land.'

jps@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 fled from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them.

jps@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.

jps@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.'

jps@Jonah:1:13 @ Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they could not; for the sea grew more and more tempestuous against them.

jps@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 man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood; for Thou, O LORD, hast done as it pleased Thee.'

jps@Jonah:1:15 @ So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea; and the sea ceased from its raging.

jps@Jonah:1:16 @ Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly; and they offered a sacrifice unto the LORD, and made vows.

jps@Jonah:1:17 @ And the LORD prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah; and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

jps@Jonah:2:1 @ Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly.

jps@Jonah:2:2 @ And he said: I called out of mine affliction unto the LORD, and He answered me; out of the belly of the nether-world cried I, and Thou heardest my voice.

jps@Jonah:2:3 @ For Thou didst cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, and the flood was round about me; all Thy waves and Thy billows passed over me.

jps@Jonah:2:4 @ And I said: 'I am cast out from before Thine eyes'; yet I will look again toward Thy holy temple.

jps@Jonah:2:5 @ The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; the deep was round about me; the weeds were wrapped about my head.

jps@Jonah:2:6 @ I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars closed upon me for ever; yet hast Thou brought up my life from the pit, O LORD my God.

jps@Jonah:2:7 @ When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD; and my prayer came in unto Thee, into Thy holy temple.

jps@Jonah:2:8 @ They that regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

jps@Jonah:2:9 @ But I will sacrifice unto Thee with the voice of thanksgiving; that which I have vowed I will pay. Salvation is of the LORD.

jps@Jonah:2:10 @ And the LORD spoke unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.

jps@Jonah:3:1 @ And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying:

jps@Jonah:3:2 @ 'Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and make unto it the proclamation that I bid thee.'

jps@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.

jps@Jonah:3:4 @ And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he proclaimed, and said: 'Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.'

jps@Jonah:3:5 @ And the people of Nineveh believed God; and they proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.

jps@Jonah:3:6 @ And the tidings reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.

jps@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;

jps@Jonah:3:8 @ but let them be covered with sackcloth, both man and beast, and let them cry mightily unto God; yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.

jps@Jonah:3:9 @ Who knoweth whether God will not turn and repent, and turn away from His fierce anger, that we perish not?'

jps@Jonah:3:10 @ And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, which He said He would do unto them; and He did it not.

jps@Jonah:4:1 @ But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry.

jps@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 mine own country? Therefore I fled beforehand unto Tarshish; for I knew that Thou art a gracious God, and compassionate, long- suffering, and abundant in mercy, and repentest Thee of the evil.

jps@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.'

jps@Jonah:4:4 @ And the LORD said: 'Art thou greatly angry?'

jps@Jonah:4:5 @ Then 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.

jps@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 evil. So Jonah was exceeding glad because of the gourd.

jps@Jonah:4:7 @ But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd, that it withered.

jps@Jonah:4:8 @ And it came to pass, when the sun arose, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and requested for himself that he might die, and said: 'It is better for me to die than to live.'

jps@Jonah:4:9 @ And God said to Jonah: 'Art thou greatly angry for the gourd?' And he said: 'I am greatly angry, even unto death.'

jps@Jonah:4:10 @ And the LORD said: 'Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow, which came up in a night, and perished in a night;

jps@Jonah:4:11 @ and should not I have pity on Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand, and also much cattle?'

jps@Micah:1:1 @ THE WORD of the LORD that came to Micah the Morashtite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.

jps@Micah:1:2 @ Hear, ye peoples, all of you; Hearken, O earth, and all that therein is; and let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the Lord from His holy temple.

jps@Micah:1:3 @ For, behold, the LORD cometh forth out of His place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.

jps@Micah:1:4 @ And the mountains shall be molten under Him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, as waters that are poured down a steep place.

jps@Micah:1:5 @ For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? And what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem?

jps@Micah:1:6 @ Therefore I will make Samaria a heap in the field, a place for the planting of vineyards; and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will uncover the foundations thereof.

jps@Micah:1:7 @ And all her graven images shall be beaten to pieces, and all her hires shall be burned with fire, and all her idols will I lay desolate; for of the hire of a harlot hath she gathered them, and unto the hire of a harlot shall they return.

jps@Micah:1:8 @ For this will I wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked; I will make a wailing like the jackals, and a mourning like the ostriches.

jps@Micah:1:9 @ For her wound is incurable; for it is come even unto Judah; it reacheth unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.

jps@Micah:1:10 @ Tell it not in Gath, weep not at all; at Beth-le-aphrah roll thyself in the dust.

jps@Micah:1:11 @ Pass ye away, O inhabitant of Saphir, in nakedness and shame; the inhabitant of Zaanan is not come forth; the wailing of Beth- ezel shall take from you the standing-place thereof.

jps@Micah:1:12 @ For the inhabitant of Maroth waiteth anxiously for good; because evil is come down from the LORD unto the gate of Jerusalem.

jps@Micah:1:13 @ Bind the chariots to the swift steeds, O inhabitant of Lachish; she was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion; for the transgressions of Israel are found in thee.

jps@Micah:1:14 @ Therefore shalt thou give a parting gift to Moresheth-gath; the houses of Achzib shall be a deceitful thing unto the kings of Israel.

jps@Micah:1:15 @ I will yet bring unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah, him that shall possess thee; the glory of Israel shall come even unto Adullam.

jps@Micah:1:16 @ Make thee bald, and poll thee for the children of thy delight; enlarge thy baldness as the vulture; for they are gone into captivity from thee.

jps@Micah:2:1 @ Woe to them that devise iniquity and work evil upon their beds! When the morning is light, they execute it, because it is in the power of their hand.

jps@Micah:2:2 @ And they covet fields, and seize them; and houses, and take them away; thus they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.

jps@Micah:2:3 @ Therefore thus saith the LORD: Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks, neither shall ye walk upright; for it shall be an evil time.

jps@Micah:2:4 @ In that day shall they take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say: 'We are utterly ruined; he changeth the portion of my people; how doth he remove it from me! Instead of restoring our fields, he divideth them.'

jps@Micah:2:5 @ Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast the line by lot in the congregation of the LORD.

jps@Micah:2:6 @ 'Preach ye not', they preach; 'They shall not preach of these things, that they shall not take shame.'

jps@Micah:2:7 @ Do I change, O house of Jacob? Is the spirit of the LORD straitened? Are these His doings? Do not My words do good to him that walketh uprightly?

jps@Micah:2:8 @ But of late My people is risen up as an enemy; with the garment ye strip also the mantle from them that pass by securely, so that they are as men returning from war.

jps@Micah:2:9 @ The women of My people ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their young children ye take away My glory for ever.

jps@Micah:2:10 @ Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your resting-place; because of the uncleanness thereof, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.

jps@Micah:2:11 @ If a man walking in wind and falsehood do lie: 'I will preach unto thee of wine and of strong drink'; he shall even be the preacher of this people.

jps@Micah:2:12 @ I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will render them all as sheep in a fold; as a flock in the midst of their pasture; they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men.

jps@Micah:2:13 @ The breaker is gone up before them; they have broken forth and passed on, by the gate, and are gone out thereat; and their king is passed on before them, and the LORD at the head of them.

jps@Micah:3:1 @ And I said: Hear, I pray you, ye heads of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel: is it not for you to know justice?

jps@Micah:3:2 @ Who hate the good, and love the evil; who rob their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;

jps@Micah:3:3 @ Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them, and break their bones; yea, they chop them in pieces, as that which is in the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.

jps@Micah:3:4 @ Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but He will not answer them; yea, He will hide His face from them at that time, according as they have wrought evil in their doings.

jps@Micah:3:5 @ Thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that make my people to err; that cry: 'Peace', when their teeth have any thing to bite; and whoso putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him:

jps@Micah:3:6 @ Therefore it shall be night unto you, that ye shall have no vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be black over them.

jps@Micah:3:7 @ And the seers shall be put to shame, and the diviners confounded; yea, they shall all cover their upper lips; for there shall be no answer of God.

jps@Micah:3:8 @ But I truly am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of justice, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.

jps@Micah:3:9 @ Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, that abhor justice, and pervert all equity;

jps@Micah:3:10 @ That build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.

jps@Micah:3:11 @ The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money; yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say: 'Is not the LORD in the midst of us? No evil shall come upon us'?

jps@Micah:3:12 @ Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.

jps@Micah:4:1 @ But in the end of days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established as the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and peoples shall flow unto it.

jps@Micah:4:2 @ And many nations shall go and say: 'Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths'; for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

jps@Micah:4:3 @ And He shall judge between many peoples, and shall decide concerning mighty nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

jps@Micah:4:4 @ But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig-tree; and none shall make them afraid; for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken.

jps@Micah:4:5 @ For let all the peoples walk each one in the name of its god, but we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever.

jps@Micah:4:6 @ In that day, saith the LORD, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven away, and her that I have afflicted;

jps@Micah:4:7 @ And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a mighty nation; and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from thenceforth even for ever.

jps@Micah:4:8 @ And thou, Migdal-eder, the hill of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come; yea, the former dominion shall come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.

jps@Micah:4:9 @ Now why dost thou cry out aloud? Is there no King in thee, is thy Counsellor perished, that pangs have taken hold of thee as of a woman in travail?

jps@Micah:4:10 @ Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail; for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and shalt dwell in the field, and shalt come even unto Babylon; there shalt thou be rescued; there shall the LORD redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.

jps@Micah:4:11 @ And now many nations are assembled against thee, that say: 'Let her be defiled, and let our eye gaze upon Zion.'

jps@Micah:4:12 @ But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they His counsel; for He hath gathered them as the sheaves to the threshing-floor.

jps@Micah:4:13 @ Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion; for I will make thy horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass; and thou shalt beat in pieces many peoples; and thou shalt devote their gain unto the LORD, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.

jps@Micah:5:1 @ Now shalt thou gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops; they have laid siege against us; they smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.

jps@Micah:5:2 @ But thou, Beth-lehem Ephrathah, which art little to be among the thousands of Judah, out of thee shall one come forth unto Me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth are from of old, from ancient days.

jps@Micah:5:3 @ Therefore will He give them up, until the time that she who travaileth hath brought forth; then the residue of his brethren shall return with the children of Israel.
