Bible verses about "jonah" | BBE

⁴¹ The men of Nineveh will come up in the day of judging and give their decision against this generation: because they were turned from their sins at the preaching of Jonah; and now a greater than Jonah is here.

¹¹ And am I not to have mercy on Nineveh, that great town, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons without the power of judging between right and left, as well as much cattle?

² In my trouble I was crying to the Lord, and he gave me an answer; out of the deepest underworld I sent up a cry, and you gave ear to my voice. ³ For you have put me down into the deep, into the heart of the sea; and the river was round about me; all your waves and your rolling waters went over me. ⁴ And I said, I have been sent away from before your eyes; how may I ever again see your holy Temple? ⁵ The waters were circling round me, even to the neck; the deep was about me; the sea-grass was twisted round my head. ⁶ I went down to the bases of the mountains; as for the earth, her walls were about me for ever: but you have taken up my life from the underworld, O Lord my God. ⁷ When my soul in me was overcome, I kept the memory of the Lord: and my prayer came in to you, into your holy Temple. ⁸ The worshippers of false gods have given up their only hope. ⁹ But I will make an offering to you with the voice of praise; I will give effect to my oaths. Salvation is the Lord's.

² In my trouble I was crying to the Lord, and he gave me an answer; out of the deepest underworld I sent up a cry, and you gave ear to my voice.

³⁰ For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of man be to this generation.

¹ And the word of the Lord came to Jonah, the son of Amittai, saying, ² Up! go to Nineveh, that great town, and let your voice come to it; for their evil-doing has come up before me. ³ And Jonah got up to go in flight to Tarshish, away from the Lord; and he went down to Joppa, and saw there a ship going to Tarshish: so he gave them the price of the journey and went down into it to go with them to Tarshish, away from the Lord. ⁴ And the Lord sent out a great wind on to the sea and there was a violent storm in the sea, so that the ship seemed in danger of being broken. ⁵ Then the sailors were full of fear, every man crying to his god; and the goods in the ship were dropped out into the sea to make the weight less. But Jonah had gone down into the inmost part of the ship where he was stretched out in a deep sleep. ⁶ And the ship's captain came to him and said to him, What are you doing sleeping? Up! say a prayer to your God, if by chance God will give a thought to us, so that we may not come to destruction. ⁷ And they said to one another, Come, let us put this to the decision of chance and see on whose account this evil has come on us. So they did so, and Jonah was seen to be the man. ⁸ Then they said to him, Now make clear to us what is your work, and where you come from? what is your country, and who are your people? ⁹ And he said to them, I am a Hebrew, a worshipper of the Lord, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land. ¹⁰ And the men were in great fear, and they said to him, What is this you have done? For the men had knowledge of his flight from the Lord because he had not kept it from them. ¹¹ And they said to him, What are we to do to you so that the sea may become calm for us? For the sea was getting rougher and rougher. ¹² And he said to them, Take me up and put me into the sea, and the sea will become calm for you: for I am certain that because of me this great storm has come on you. ¹³ And the men were working hard to get back to the land, but they were not able to do so: for the sea got rougher and rougher against them. ¹⁴ So, crying to the Lord, they said, Give ear to our prayer, O Lord, give ear, and do not let destruction overtake us because of this man's life; do not put on us the sin of taking life without cause: for you, O Lord, have done what seemed good to you. ¹⁵ So they took Jonah up and put him into the sea: and the sea was no longer angry. ¹⁶ Then great was the men's fear of the Lord; and they made an offering to the Lord and took oaths to him. ¹⁷ And the Lord made ready a great fish to take Jonah into its mouth; and Jonah was inside the fish for three days and three nights.

⁴⁰ For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the stomach of the great fish, so will the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
