H3068
But the LORD
H2904 [H8689]
sent out
H1419
a great
H7307
wind
H3220
into the sea,
H1419
and there was a mighty
H5591
tempest
H3220
in the sea,
H591
so that the ship
H2803 [H8765]
was in danger
H7665 [H8736]
of being broken.
5
H4419
Then the mariners
H3372 [H8799]
were afraid,
H2199 [H8799]
and cried
H376
every man
H430
to his god,
H2904 [H8686]
and cast
H3627
the wares
H591
that were in the ship
H3220
into the sea,
H7043 [H8687]
to lighten
H3124
it of them. But Jonah
H3381 [H8804]
had gone down
H3411
into the sides
H5600
of the ship;
H7901 [H8799]
and he lay,
H7290 [H8735]
and was fast asleep.
6
H7227 H2259
So the shipmaster
H7126 [H8799]
came
H559 [H8799]
to him, and said
H7290 [H8737]
to him, What meanest thou, O sleeper?
H6965 [H8798]
arise,
H7121 [H8798]
call
H430
upon thy God,
H430
it may be that God
H6245 [H8691]
will think
H6 [H8799]
upon us, that we perish not.
7
H559 [H8799]
And they said
H376
every one
H7453
to another,
H3212 [H8798]
Come,
H5307 [H8686]
and let us cast
H1486
lots,
H3045 [H8799]
that we may know
H7945
for whose cause
H7451
this evil
H5307 [H8686]
is upon us. So they cast
H1486
lots,
H1486
and the lot
H5307 [H8799]
fell
H3124
upon Jonah.
8
H559 [H8799]
Then said
H5046 [H8685]
they to him, Tell
H7451
us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil
H4399
is upon us; What is thy occupation?
H370
and from where
H935 [H8799]
comest
H776
thou? what is thy land?
H5971
and of what people art thou?
9
H559 [H8799]
And he said
H5680
to them, I am an Hebrew;
H3373
and I fear
H3068
the LORD,
H430
the God
H8064
of heaven,
H6213 [H8804]
who hath made
H3220
the sea
H3004
and the dry land.
10
H582
Then were the men
H1419 H3374
exceedingly
H3372 [H8799]
afraid,
H559 [H8799]
and said
H6213 [H8804]
to him, Why hast thou done
H582
this? For the men
H3045 [H8804]
knew
H1272 [H8802]
that he fled
H6440
from the face
H3068
of the LORD,
H5046 [H8689]
because he had told them.
11
H559 [H8799]
Then said
H6213 [H8799]
they to him, What shall we do
H3220
to thee, that the sea
H8367 [H8799]
may be calm
H3220
to us? for the sea
H1980 [H8802]
raged,
H5590 [H8802]
and was tempestuous.
12
H559 [H8799]
And he said
H5375 [H8798]
to them, Take me,
H2904 [H8685]
and cast me
H3220
into the sea;
H3220
so shall the sea
H8367 [H8799]
be calm
H3045 [H8802]
to you: for I know
H7945
that for my sake
H1419
this great
H5591
tempest is upon you.
13
H582
Nevertheless the men
H2864 [H8799]
rowed hard
H7725 [H8687]
to bring
H3004
it to the land;
H3201 [H8804]
but they could
H3220
not: for the sea
H1980 [H8802]
raged,
H5590 [H8802]
and was tempestuous against them.
14
H7121 [H8799]
Therefore they called
H3068
to the LORD,
H559 [H8799]
and said,
H577
We beseech thee,
H3068
O LORD,
H6 [H8799]
we beseech thee, let us not perish
H376
for this man's
H5315
breath,
H5414 [H8799]
and lay
H5355 H5355 [H8675]
not upon us innocent
H1818
blood:
H3068
for thou, O LORD,
H6213 [H8804]
hast done
H2654 [H8804]
as it pleased thee.
