H1697
Now the word
H3068
of Yahweh
H3124
came to Jonah
H1121
the son
H573
of Amittai,
H559
saying,
2
H6965
"Arise,
H3212
go
H5210
to Nineveh,
H1419
that great
H5892
city,
H7121
and preach
H7451
against it, for their wickedness
H5927
has come up
H6440
before me."
3
H3124
But Jonah
H6965
rose up
H1272
to flee
H8659
to Tarshish
H6440
from the presence
H3068
of Yahweh.
H3381
He went down
H3305
to Joppa,
H4672
and found
H591
a ship
H935
going
H8659
to Tarshish;
H5414
so he paid
H7939
its fare,
H3381
and went down
H935
into it, to go
H8659
with them to Tarshish
H6440
from the presence
H3068
of Yahweh.
4
H3068
But Yahweh
H2904
sent out
H1419
a great
H7307
wind
H3220
on the sea,
H1419
and there was a mighty
H5591
storm
H3220
on the sea,
H591
so that the ship
H2803
was likely
H7665
to break up.
5
H4419
Then the mariners
H3372
were afraid,
H376
and every man
H2199
cried
H430
to his god.
H2904
They threw
H3627
the cargo
H591
that was in the ship
H3220
into the sea
H7043
to lighten
H3124
the ship. But Jonah
H3381
had gone down
H3411
into the innermost parts
H5600
of the ship,
H7901
and he was laying
H7290
down, and was fast asleep.
6
H7227
So the shipmaster
H7126
came
H559
to him, and said
H7290
to him, "What do you mean, sleeper?
H6965
Arise,
H7121
call
H430
on your God!
H430
Maybe your God
H6245
will notice
H6
us, so that we won't perish."
7
H559
They all said
H376
to each
H7453
other,
H3212
"Come,
H5307
let us cast
H1486
lots,
H3045
that we may know
H7945
who is responsible
H7451
for this evil
H5307
that is on us." So they cast
H1486
lots,
H1486
and the lot
H5307
fell
H3124
on Jonah.
8
H559
Then they asked
H5046
him, "Tell
H7451
us, please, for whose cause this evil
H4399
is on us. What is your occupation?
H370
Where
H935
do you come
H776
from? What is your country?
H5971
Of what people are you?"
9
H559
He said
H5680
to them, "I am a Hebrew,
H3373
and I fear
H3068
Yahweh,
H430
the God
H8064
of heaven,
H6213
who has made
H3220
the sea
H3004
and the dry land."
10
H582
Then were the men
H1419
exceedingly
H3372
afraid,
H559
and said
H6213
to him, "What is this that you have done?"
H582
For the men
H3045
knew
H1272
that he was fleeing
H6440
from the presence
H3068
of Yahweh,
H5046
because he had told them.
11
H559
Then they said
H6213
to him, "What shall we do
H3220
to you, that the sea
H8367
may be calm
H3220
to us?" For the sea
H1980
grew
H5590
more and more stormy.
12
H559
He said
H5375
to them, "Take me up,
H2904
and throw
H3220
me into the sea.
H3220
Then the sea
H8367
will be calm
H3045
for you; for I know
H7945
that because of
H1419
me this great
H5591
storm is on you."
13
H582
Nevertheless the men
H2864
rowed hard
H7725
to get
H3004
them back to the land;
H3201
but they could
H3220
not, for the sea
H1980
grew
H5590
more and more stormy against them.
14
H7121
Therefore they cried
H3068
to Yahweh,
H559
and said,
H577
"We beg you,
H3068
Yahweh,
H577
we beg you,
H376
don't let us die for this man's
H5315
life,
H5414
and don't lay
H5355
on us innocent
H1818
blood;
H3068
for you, Yahweh,
H6213
have done
H2654
as it pleased you."
15
H5375
So they took up
H3124
Jonah,
H2904
and threw
H3220
him into the sea;
H3220
and the sea
H5975
ceased
H2197
its raging.
