Now the word
of the LORD
came unto Jonah
the son
of Amittai,
saying,
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
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.

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.
say
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?
say
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.
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.
say
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.
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.
say
Nevertheless the men
rowed hard
to bring
it to the land;
but they could
not: for the sea
wrought,
and was tempestuous
against them.
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.
say
So they took up
Jonah,
and cast him forth
into the sea:
and the sea
ceased
from her raging.
Then the men
feared
the LORD
exceedingly,
and offered
a sacrifice
unto the LORD,
and made
vows.
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.
