Jonah's Disobedience

1

The wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 cameh1961 to  aJonahh3124 the sonh1121 of Amittaih573 sayingh559,

2

"Ariseh6965, goh1980 to  aNinevehh5210 the greath1419 cityh5892b and  bcryh7121 againsth5921 it, for their  cwickednessh7463a has comeh5927 up beforeh6440 Me."

3

But Jonahh3124 roseh6965 up to fleeh1272 to  aTarshishh8659  bfrom the presenceh6440 of the LORDh3068. So he wenth3381 downh3381 to  cJoppah3305, foundh4672 a shiph591 which was goingh935 to Tarshishh8659, paidh5414 the fareh7939 and wenth3381 downh3381 into it to goh935 with them to Tarshishh8659 from the presenceh6440 of the LORDh3068.

4

The  aLORDh3068 hurledh2904 a greath1419 windh7307 on the seah3220 and there was a greath1419 stormh5591a on the seah3220 so that the shiph591 was about to  1breakh7665 up.

5

Then the sailorsh4419 becameh3372a afraidh3372a and everyh376 manh376 criedh2199 to  ahis godh430, and they  bthrewh2904 the  1cargoh3627 whichh834 was in the shiph591 into the seah3220 to lightenh7043 it  2for them. But Jonahh3124 had goneh3381 belowh3381 into the holdh3411 of the shiph5600, lainh7901 downh7901 and fallenh7290a soundh7290a asleeph7290a.

6

So the captainh7227bh2259 approachedh7126 him and saidh559, "Howh4100 is it that you are sleepingh7290a? Geth6965 up,  acallh7121 on your godh430. Perhapsh194 your  bgodh430 will be concernedh6245b about us so that we will not perishh6."

7

Eachh376 manh376 saidh559 to his mateh7453, "Comeh1980, let us  acasth5307 lotsh1486 so we may  1learnh3045 on whoseh4310 accounth7945 thish2088 calamityh7463a has struck us." So they casth5307 lotsh1486 and the  bloth1486 fellh5307 on Jonahh3124.

8

Then they saidh559 to him, " aTellh5046 us, nowh4994! On whoseh4310 account has thish2088 calamityh7463a struck us? Whath4100 is your  boccupationh4399? And whereh370 do you comeh935 from? Whath4100 is your countryh776? From whath335h2088 peopleh5971a are you?"

9

He saidh559 to them, "I am a  aHebrewh5680, and I  bfearh3372a the LORDh3068  cGodh430 of heavenh8064 whoh834  dmadeh6213a the seah3220 and the dryh3004 landh3004."

10

Then the menh376 becameh3372a extremelyh3374h1419 frightenedh3372a and they saidh559 to him, " 1Howh4100 could you doh6213a thish2088?" For the menh376 knewh3045 that he was  afleeingh1272 from the presenceh6440 of the LORDh3068, becauseh3588 he had toldh5046 them.

11

So they saidh559 to him, "Whath4100 should we doh6213a to you that the seah3220 may becomeh8367 calmh8367  1for us?"--for the seah3220 was becomingh1980 increasinglyh1980 stormyh5590.

12

He saidh559 to them, "Pickh5375 me up and throwh2904 me into the seah3220. Then the seah3220 will becomeh8367 calmh8367  1for you, for I knowh3045 that  aon accounth7945 of me thish2088 greath1419 stormh5591a has come upon you."

13

However, the menh376  1rowedh2864 desperately to returnh7725 to landh3004 but they couldh3201 not, for the seah3220 was becomingh1980 even stormierh5590 againsth5921 them.

14

Then they calledh7121 on the  aLORDh3068 and saidh559, "We earnestlyh577 prayh577, Oh577 LORDh3068, do not let us perishh6 on account of thish2088 man'sh376 lifeh5315 and do not puth5414 innocenth5355b bloodh1818 on us; for  bYou, O LORDh3068, have doneh6213a as You have pleasedh2654a."

15

So they pickedh5375 up Jonahh3124, threwh2904 him into the seah3220, and the seah3220  astoppedh5975 its ragingh2197.

16

Then the menh376 fearedh3372a the LORDh3068 greatlyh1419, and they offeredh2076 a sacrificeh2077 to the LORDh3068 and madeh5087  avowsh5088.

17

 1And the LORDh3068 appointedh4487 a greath1419 fishh1709 to swallowh1104 Jonahh3124, and Jonahh3124 was in the  astomachh4578 of the fishh1709 threeh7969 daysh3117 and threeh7969 nightsh3915.
