Jonah

Chapter 1

1 Now the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 to Jonah3124 the son1121 of Amittai,573 saying,559

2 Arise,6965 go1980 to Nineveh,5210 that great1419 city,5892 and cry7121 against5921 it; for their wickedness7451 is come5927 up before6440 me.

3 But Jonah3124 rose6965 up to flee1272 to Tarshish8659 from the presence6440 of the LORD,3068 and went3381 down3381 to Joppa;3305 and he found4672 a ship591 going935 to Tarshish:8659 so he paid5414 the fare7939 thereof, and went3381 down3381 into it, to go935 with them to Tarshish8659 from the presence6440 of the LORD.3068

4 But the LORD3068 sent2904 out a great1419 wind7307 into413 the sea,3220 and there was a mighty1419 tempest5591 in the sea,3220 so that the ship591 was like2803 to be broken.7665

5 Then the mariners4419 were afraid,3372 and cried2199 every man to his god,430 and cast2904 forth2904 the wares3627 that were in the ship591 into413 the sea,3220 to lighten7043 it of them. But Jonah3124 was gone3381 down3381 into413 the sides3411 of the ship;5600 and he lay,7901 and was fast asleep.7290

6 So the shipmaster7227 2259 came7126 to him, and said559 to him, What4100 mean you, O sleeper?7290 arise,6965 call7121 on your God,430 if194 so be that God430 will think6245 on us, that we perish6 not.

7 And they said559 every376 one376 to his fellow,7453 Come,3212 and let us cast5307 lots,1486 that we may know3045 for whose4310 cause7945 this2063 evil7451 is on us. So they cast5307 lots,1486 and the lot1486 fell5307 on Jonah.3124

8 Then said559 they to him, Tell5046 us, we pray4994 you, for whose834 4310 cause834 this2063 evil7451 is on us; What4100 is your occupation?4399 and from where370 come935 you? what4100 is your country?776 and of what335 2088 people5971 are you?

9 And he said559 to them, I am an Hebrew;5680 and I fear3373 the LORD,3068 the God430 of heaven,8064 which834 has made6213 the sea3220 and the dry3004 land.127

10 Then were the men582 exceedingly1419 afraid,3372 and said559 to him. Why4100 have you done6213 this?2063 For the men582 knew3045 that he fled1272 from the presence6440 of the LORD,3068 because3588 he had told5046 them.

11 Then said559 they to him, What4100 shall we do6213 to you, that the sea3220 may be calm8367 to us? for the sea3220 worked,1980 and was tempestuous.5492

12 And he said559 to them, Take5375 me up, and cast2904 me forth2904 into413 the sea;3220 so shall the sea3220 be calm8367 to you: for I know3045 that for my sake7945 this great1419 tempest5591 is on you.

13 Nevertheless the men582 rowed2864 hard to bring7725 it to the land;3004 but they could3201 not: for the sea3220 worked,1980 and was tempestuous5492 against5921 them.

14 Why they cried to the LORD, and said, We beseech you, O LORD, we beseech you, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not on us innocent blood: for you, O LORD, have done as it pleased you.

15 So they took5375 up Jonah,3124 and cast2904 him forth2904 into413 the sea:3220 and the sea3220 ceased5975 from her raging.2197

16 Then the men582 feared3372 the LORD3068 exceedingly,1419 and offered2076 a sacrifice2077 to the LORD,3068 and made vows.5088

17 Now the LORD3068 had prepared4487 a great1419 fish1709 to swallow1104 up Jonah.3124 And Jonah3124 was in the belly4578 of the fish1709 three7969 days3117 and three7969 nights.3915

Jonah

Chapter 1

1 NOW the word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Matai (Matthew), saying,

2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach against it; for their wickedness has come up before me.

3 But Jonah rose to flee to 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 and went on board to go with them to Tarshish to flee from the presence of the LORD.

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 in danger of being broken.

5 Then the mariners were afraid and cried every man to his god, and they threw the wares that were in the ship into the sea to lighten it. But Jonah had gone down into the inner hold of the ship; and he lay and was fast asleep.

6 So the captain came to him and said to him, Why are you sleeping? Arise, call upon your God, perhaps God will deliver us, that we perish not.

7 And they said every one to his fellow, Come, let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil has come upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.

8 Then they said to him, Tell us for what cause this evil has come upon us; what is your occupation? And from what place do you come? What is your country? And of what people are you?

9 And Jonah said to them, I am a Hebrew; and I worship the LORD the God of heaven, who has made the sea and the dry land.

10 Then the men were exceedingly afraid and said to him, What have you done? For the men knew that he had fled from the presence of the LORD.

11 And when he had told them everything, then they said to him, What shall we do to you that the sea may be calm for us? For behold, the sea continues to be more tempestuous against us.

12 Jonah said to them, Take me up and cast me into the sea, so that the sea may be calm to you; for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.

13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring the ship back to the land; but they could not; for the sea became more tempestuous against them.

14 Therefore they cried to the LORD and said, We beseech thee, O LORD, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood; for thou art the LORD and hast done as it pleased thee.

15 So they took up Jonah and cast him forth into the sea; and the sea ceased from its raging.

16 And the men were greatly terrified from the presence of the LORD, and they offered sacrifices of righteousness to the LORD and made vows.

17 Now the LORD had prepared a great fish, and it swallowed up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

Jonah

Chapter 1

1 Now the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 to Jonah3124 the son1121 of Amittai,573 saying,559

1 NOW the word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Matai (Matthew), saying,

2 Arise,6965 go1980 to Nineveh,5210 that great1419 city,5892 and cry7121 against5921 it; for their wickedness7451 is come5927 up before6440 me.

2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach against it; for their wickedness has come up before me.

3 But Jonah3124 rose6965 up to flee1272 to Tarshish8659 from the presence6440 of the LORD,3068 and went3381 down3381 to Joppa;3305 and he found4672 a ship591 going935 to Tarshish:8659 so he paid5414 the fare7939 thereof, and went3381 down3381 into it, to go935 with them to Tarshish8659 from the presence6440 of the LORD.3068

3 But Jonah rose to flee to 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 and went on board to go with them to Tarshish to flee from the presence of the LORD.

4 But the LORD3068 sent2904 out a great1419 wind7307 into413 the sea,3220 and there was a mighty1419 tempest5591 in the sea,3220 so that the ship591 was like2803 to be broken.7665

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 in danger of being broken.

5 Then the mariners4419 were afraid,3372 and cried2199 every man to his god,430 and cast2904 forth2904 the wares3627 that were in the ship591 into413 the sea,3220 to lighten7043 it of them. But Jonah3124 was gone3381 down3381 into413 the sides3411 of the ship;5600 and he lay,7901 and was fast asleep.7290

5 Then the mariners were afraid and cried every man to his god, and they threw the wares that were in the ship into the sea to lighten it. But Jonah had gone down into the inner hold of the ship; and he lay and was fast asleep.

6 So the shipmaster7227 2259 came7126 to him, and said559 to him, What4100 mean you, O sleeper?7290 arise,6965 call7121 on your God,430 if194 so be that God430 will think6245 on us, that we perish6 not.

6 So the captain came to him and said to him, Why are you sleeping? Arise, call upon your God, perhaps God will deliver us, that we perish not.

7 And they said559 every376 one376 to his fellow,7453 Come,3212 and let us cast5307 lots,1486 that we may know3045 for whose4310 cause7945 this2063 evil7451 is on us. So they cast5307 lots,1486 and the lot1486 fell5307 on Jonah.3124

7 And they said every one to his fellow, Come, let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil has come upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.

8 Then said559 they to him, Tell5046 us, we pray4994 you, for whose834 4310 cause834 this2063 evil7451 is on us; What4100 is your occupation?4399 and from where370 come935 you? what4100 is your country?776 and of what335 2088 people5971 are you?

8 Then they said to him, Tell us for what cause this evil has come upon us; what is your occupation? And from what place do you come? What is your country? And of what people are you?

9 And he said559 to them, I am an Hebrew;5680 and I fear3373 the LORD,3068 the God430 of heaven,8064 which834 has made6213 the sea3220 and the dry3004 land.127

9 And Jonah said to them, I am a Hebrew; and I worship the LORD the God of heaven, who has made the sea and the dry land.

10 Then were the men582 exceedingly1419 afraid,3372 and said559 to him. Why4100 have you done6213 this?2063 For the men582 knew3045 that he fled1272 from the presence6440 of the LORD,3068 because3588 he had told5046 them.

10 Then the men were exceedingly afraid and said to him, What have you done? For the men knew that he had fled from the presence of the LORD.

11 Then said559 they to him, What4100 shall we do6213 to you, that the sea3220 may be calm8367 to us? for the sea3220 worked,1980 and was tempestuous.5492

11 And when he had told them everything, then they said to him, What shall we do to you that the sea may be calm for us? For behold, the sea continues to be more tempestuous against us.

12 And he said559 to them, Take5375 me up, and cast2904 me forth2904 into413 the sea;3220 so shall the sea3220 be calm8367 to you: for I know3045 that for my sake7945 this great1419 tempest5591 is on you.

12 Jonah said to them, Take me up and cast me into the sea, so that the sea may be calm to you; for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.

13 Nevertheless the men582 rowed2864 hard to bring7725 it to the land;3004 but they could3201 not: for the sea3220 worked,1980 and was tempestuous5492 against5921 them.

13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring the ship back to the land; but they could not; for the sea became more tempestuous against them.

14 Why they cried to the LORD, and said, We beseech you, O LORD, we beseech you, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not on us innocent blood: for you, O LORD, have done as it pleased you.

14 Therefore they cried to the LORD and said, We beseech thee, O LORD, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood; for thou art the LORD and hast done as it pleased thee.

15 So they took5375 up Jonah,3124 and cast2904 him forth2904 into413 the sea:3220 and the sea3220 ceased5975 from her raging.2197

15 So they took up Jonah and cast him forth into the sea; and the sea ceased from its raging.

16 Then the men582 feared3372 the LORD3068 exceedingly,1419 and offered2076 a sacrifice2077 to the LORD,3068 and made vows.5088

16 And the men were greatly terrified from the presence of the LORD, and they offered sacrifices of righteousness to the LORD and made vows.

17 Now the LORD3068 had prepared4487 a great1419 fish1709 to swallow1104 up Jonah.3124 And Jonah3124 was in the belly4578 of the fish1709 three7969 days3117 and three7969 nights.3915

17 Now the LORD had prepared a great fish, and it swallowed up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
