V.1 Now the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came unto Jonah 3124 the son 1121 of Amittai, 573 saying, 559-2

1:2 Arise, 6965-3 go 3212-3 to Nineveh, 5210 that great 1419 city, 5892 and cry 7121-3 against it; for their wickedness 7451 is come up 5927-1 before 6440 me.

1:3 But Jonah 3124 rose up 6965-4 to flee 1272-2 unto Tarshish 8659 from the presence 6440 of the LORD, 3068 and went down 3381-4 to Joppa; 3305 and he found 4672-4 a ship 591 going to 935-6 Tarshish: 8659 so he paid 5414-4 the fare 7939 thereof, and went down 3381-4 into it, to go 935-2 with them unto Tarshish 8659 from the presence 6440 of the LORD. 3068

1:4 But the LORD 3068 sent out 2904-52 a great 1419 wind 7307 into the sea, 3220 and there was a mighty 1419 tempest 5591 in the sea, 3220 so that the ship 591 was like 2803-14 to be broken. 7665-9

1:5 Then the mariners 4419 were afraid, 3372-4 and cried 2199-4 every man 376 unto his god, 430 and cast forth 2904-55 the wares 3627 that [were] in the ship 591 into the sea, 3220 to lighten 7043-53 [it] of them. But Jonah 3124 was gone down 3381-1 into the sides 3411 of the ship; 5600 and he lay, 7901-4 and was fast asleep. 7290-11

1:6 So the shipmaster 7227 2259 came 7126-4 to him, and said 559-4 unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? 7290-12 arise, 6965-3 call 7121-3 upon thy God, 430 if so be that God 430 will think 6245-101 upon us, that we perish 6-4 not.

1:7 And they said 559-4 every one 376 to his fellow, 7453 Come, 3212-3 and let us cast 5307-55 lots, 1486 that we may know 3045-4 for whose cause 7945 this evil 7451 [is] upon us. So they cast 5307-55 lots, 1486 and the lot 1486 fell 5307-4 upon Jonah. 3124

1:8 Then said 559-4 they unto him, Tell 5046-54 us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil 7451 [is] upon us; What [is] thine occupation? 4399 and whence 370 comest 935-4 thou? what [is] thy country? 776 and of what people 5971 [art] thou?

1:9 And he said 559-4 unto them, I [am] an Hebrew; 5680 and I fear 3373 the LORD, 3068 the God 430 of heaven, 8064 which hath made 6213-1 the sea 3220 and the dry 3004 [land].

1:10 Then were the men 582 exceedingly 1419 3374 afraid, 3372-4 and said 559-4 unto him, Why hast thou done 6213-1 this? For the men 582 knew 3045-1 that he fled 1272-6 from the presence 6440 of the LORD, 3068 because he had told 5046- 52 them.

1:11 Then said 559-4 they unto him, What shall we do 6213-4 unto thee, that the sea 3220 may be calm 8367-4 unto us? for the sea 3220 wrought, 1980-6 and was tempestuous. 5590-6

1:12 And he said 559-4 unto them, Take me up, 5375-3 and cast me forth 2904-54 into the sea; 3220 so shall the sea 3220 be calm 8367-4 unto you: for I know 3045-6 that for my sake 7945 this great 1419 tempest 5591 [is] upon you.

1:13 Nevertheless the men 582 rowed 2864-4 hard to bring 7725-53 [it] to the land; 3004 but they could 3201-1 not: for the sea 3220 wrought, 1980-6 and was tempestuous 5590-6 against them.

1:14 Wherefore they cried 7121-4 unto the LORD, 3068 and said, 559-4 We beseech 577 thee, O LORD, 3068 we beseech thee, let us not perish 6-4 for this man's 376 life, 5315 and lay 5414-4 not upon us innocent 5355 blood: 1818 for thou, O LORD, 3068 hast done 6213-1 as it pleased 2654-1 thee.

1:15 So they took up 5375-4 Jonah, 3124 and cast him forth 2904-55 into the sea: 3220 and the sea 3220 ceased 5975-4 from her raging. 2197

1:16 Then the men 582 feared 3372-4 the LORD 3068 exceedingly, 1419 3374 and offered 2076-4 a sacrifice 2077 unto the LORD, 3068 and made 5087-4 vows. 5088
