Jonah: Chapter 1

¹Now the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came unto Jonah^H3124 the son^H1121 of Amittai^H0573, saying^H0559, ²Arise^H6965, go^H3212 to Nineveh^H5210, that great^H1419 city^H5892, and cry^H7121 against it; for their wickedness^H7451 is come up^H5927 before^H6440 me. ³But Jonah^H3124 rose up^H6965 to flee^H1272 unto Tarshish^H8659 from the presence^H6440 of the LORD^H3068, and went down^H3381 to Joppa^H3305; and he found^H4672 a ship^H0591 going^H0935 to Tarshish^H8659: so he paid^H5414 the fare^H7939 thereof, and went down^H3381 into it, to go^H0935 with them unto Tarshish^H8659 from the presence^H6440 of the LORD^H3068.

⁴But the LORD^H3068 sent out^H2904 a great^H1419 wind^H7307 into the sea^H3220, and there was a mighty^H1419 tempest^H5591 in the sea^H3220, so that the ship^H0591 was like^H2803 to be broken^H7665. ⁵Then the mariners^H4419 were afraid^H3372, and cried^H2199 every man^H0376 unto his god^H0430, and cast forth^H2904 the wares^H3627 that were in the ship^H0591 into the sea^H3220, to lighten^H7043 it of them. But Jonah^H3124 was gone down^H3381 into the sides^H3411 of the ship^H5600; and he lay^H7901, and was fast asleep^H7290. ⁶So the shipmaster^H7227 came^H7126 to him, and said^H0559 unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper^H7290? arise^H6965, call^H7121 upon thy God^H0430, if so be that God^H0430 will think^H6245 upon us, that we perish^H0006 not. ⁷And they said^H0559 every one^H0376 to his fellow^H7453, Come^H3212, and let us cast^H5307 lots^H1486, that we may know^H3045 for whose cause^H7945 this evil^H7451 is upon us. So they cast^H5307 lots^H1486, and the lot^H1486 fell^H5307 upon Jonah^H3124. ⁸Then said^H0559 they unto him, Tell^H5046 us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil^H7451 is upon us; What is thine occupation^H4399? and whence^H0370 comest^H0935 thou? what is thy country^H0776? and of what people^H5971 art thou? ⁹And he said^H0559 unto them, I am an Hebrew^H5680; and I fear^H3373 the LORD^H3068, the God^H0430 of heaven^H8064, which hath made^H6213 the sea^H3220 and the dry^H3004 land . ¹⁰Then were the men^H0582 exceedingly^H1419 afraid^H3372, and said^H0559 unto him, Why hast thou done^H6213 this? For the men^H0582 knew^H3045 that he fled^H1272 from the presence^H6440 of the LORD^H3068, because he had told^H5046 them.

¹¹Then said^H0559 they unto him, What shall we do^H6213 unto thee, that the sea^H3220 may be calm^H8367 unto us? for the sea^H3220 wrought^H1980, and was tempestuous^H5590. ¹²And he said^H0559 unto them, Take me up^H5375, and cast me forth^H2904 into the sea^H3220; so shall the sea^H3220 be calm^H8367 unto you: for I know^H3045 that for my sake^H7945 this great^H1419 tempest^H5591 is upon you. ¹³Nevertheless the men^H0582 rowed hard^H2864 to bring^H7725 it to the land^H3004; but they could^H3201 not: for the sea^H3220 wrought^H1980, and was tempestuous^H5590 against them. ¹⁴Wherefore they cried^H7121 unto the LORD^H3068, and said^H0559, We beseech thee^H0577, O LORD^H3068, we beseech thee, let us not perish^H0006 for this mans^H0376 life^H5315, and lay^H5414 not upon us innocent^H5355 blood^H1818: for thou, O LORD^H3068, hast done^H6213 as it pleased^H2654 thee. ¹⁵So they took up^H5375 Jonah^H3124, and cast him forth^H2904 into the sea^H3220: and the sea^H3220 ceased^H5975 from her raging^H2197. ¹⁶Then the men^H0582 feared^H3372 the LORD^H3068 exceedingly^H1419, and offered^H2076 a sacrifice^H2077 unto the LORD^H3068, and made^H5087 vows^H5088.

¹⁷Now the LORD^H3068 had prepared^H4487 a great^H1419 fish^H1709 to swallow up^H1104 Jonah^H3124. And Jonah^H3124 was in the belly^H4578 of the fish^H1709 three^H7969 days^H3117 and three^H7969 nights^H3915.

Jonah: Chapter 2

¹Then Jonah^H3124 prayed^H6419 unto the LORD^H3068 his God^H0430 out of the fishs^H1710 belly^H4578, ²And said^H0559, I cried^H7121 by reason of mine affliction^H6869 unto the LORD^H3068, and he heard^H6030 me; out of the belly^H0990 of hell^H7585 cried^H7768 I, and thou heardest^H8085 my voice^H6963. ³For thou hadst cast^H7993 me into the deep^H4688, in the midst^H3824 of the seas^H3220; and the floods^H5104 compassed^H5437 me about: all thy billows^H4867 and thy waves^H1530 passed over^H5674 me. ⁴Then I said^H0559, I am cast out^H1644 of thy sight^H5869; yet I will look^H5027 again^H3254 toward thy holy^H6944 temple^H1964. ⁵The waters^H4325 compassed me about^H0661, even to the soul^H5315: the depth^H8415 closed me round about^H5437, the weeds^H5488 were wrapped about^H2280 my head^H7218. ⁶I went down^H3381 to the bottoms^H7095 of the mountains^H2022; the earth^H0776 with her bars^H1280 was about me for ever^H5769: yet hast thou brought up^H5927 my life^H2416 from corruption^H7845, O LORD^H3068 my God^H0430. ⁷When my soul^H5315 fainted^H5848 within me I remembered^H2142 the LORD^H3068: and my prayer^H8605 came in^H0935 unto thee, into thine holy^H6944 temple^H1964. ⁸They that observe^H8104 lying^H7723 vanities^H1892 forsake^H5800 their own mercy^H2617. ⁹But I will sacrifice^H2076 unto thee with the voice^H6963 of thanksgiving^H8426; I will pay^H7999 that that I have vowed^H5087. Salvation^H3444 is of the LORD^H3068.

¹⁰And the LORD^H3068 spake^H0559 unto the fish^H1709, and it vomited out^H6958 Jonah^H3124 upon the dry^H3004 land .

Jonah: Chapter 3

¹And the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came unto Jonah^H3124 the second^H8145 time, saying^H0559, ²Arise^H6965, go^H3212 unto Nineveh^H5210, that great^H1419 city^H5892, and preach^H7121 unto it the preaching^H7150 that I bid^H1696 thee. ³So Jonah^H3124 arose^H6965, and went^H3212 unto Nineveh^H5210, according to the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068. Now Nineveh^H5210 was an exceeding^H0430 great^H1419 city^H5892 of three^H7969 days^H3117 journey^H4109. ⁴And Jonah^H3124 began^H2490 to enter^H0935 into the city^H5892 a^H0259 days^H3117 journey^H4109, and he cried^H7121, and said^H0559, Yet forty^H0705 days^H3117, and Nineveh^H5210 shall be overthrown^H2015.

⁵So the people^H0582 of Nineveh^H5210 believed^H0539 God^H0430, and proclaimed^H7121 a fast^H6685, and put^H3847 on sackcloth^H8242, from the greatest^H1419 of them even to the least^H6996 of them. ⁶For word^H1697 came^H5060 unto the king^H4428 of Nineveh^H5210, and he arose^H6965 from his throne^H3678, and he laid^H5674 his robe^H0155 from him, and covered^H3680 him with sackcloth^H8242, and sat^H3427 in ashes^H0665. ⁷And he caused it to be proclaimed^H2199 and published^H0559 through Nineveh^H5210 by the decree^H2940 of the king^H4428 and his nobles^H1419, saying^H0559, Let neither man^H0120 nor beast^H0929, herd^H1241 nor flock^H6629, taste^H2938 any thing^H3972: let them not feed^H7462, nor drink^H8354 water^H4325: ⁸But let man^H0120 and beast^H0929 be covered^H3680 with sackcloth^H8242, and cry^H7121 mightily^H2394 unto God^H0430: yea, let them turn^H7725 every one^H0376 from his evil^H7451 way^H1870, and from the violence^H2555 that is in their hands^H3709. ⁹Who can tell^H3045 if God^H0430 will turn^H7725 and repent^H5162, and turn away^H7725 from his fierce^H2740 anger^H0639, that we perish^H0006 not?

¹⁰And God^H0430 saw^H7200 their works^H4639, that they turned^H7725 from their evil^H7451 way^H1870; and God^H0430 repented^H5162 of the evil^H7451, that he had said^H1696 that he would do^H6213 unto them; and he did^H6213 it not.

Jonah: Chapter 4

¹But it displeased^H3415 Jonah^H3124 exceedingly^H1419, and he was very angry^H2734. ²And he prayed^H6419 unto the LORD^H3068, and said^H0559, I pray^H0577 thee, O LORD^H3068, was not this my saying^H1697, when I was yet in my country^H0127? Therefore I fled^H1272 before^H6923 unto Tarshish^H8659: for I knew^H3045 that thou art a gracious^H2587 God^H0410, and merciful^H7349, slow^H0750 to anger^H0639, and of great^H7227 kindness^H2617, and repentest^H5162 thee of the evil^H7451. ³Therefore now, O LORD^H3068, take^H3947, I beseech thee, my life^H5315 from me; for it is better^H2896 for me to die^H4194 than to live^H2416.

⁴Then said^H0559 the LORD^H3068, Doest thou well^H3190 to be angry^H2734?

⁵So Jonah^H3124 went out^H3318 of the city^H5892, and sat^H3427 on the east side^H6924 of the city^H5892, and there made^H6213 him a booth^H5521, and sat^H3427 under it in the shadow^H6738, till he might see^H7200 what would become of the city^H5892. ⁶And the LORD^H3068 God^H0430 prepared^H4487 a gourd^H7021, and made it to come up^H5927 over Jonah^H3124, that it might be a shadow^H6738 over his head^H7218, to deliver^H5337 him from his grief^H7451. So Jonah^H3124 was exceeding^H1419 glad^H8055 of the gourd^H7021. ⁷But God^H0430 prepared^H4487 a worm^H8438 when the morning^H7837 rose^H5927 the next day^H4283, and it smote^H5221 the gourd^H7021 that it withered^H3001. ⁸And it came to pass, when the sun^H8121 did arise^H2224, that God^H0430 prepared^H4487 a vehement^H2759 east^H6921 wind^H7307; and the sun^H8121 beat^H5221 upon the head^H7218 of Jonah^H3124, that he fainted^H5968, and wished^H7592 in himself^H5315 to die^H4191, and said^H0559, It is better^H2896 for me to die^H4194 than to live^H2416. ⁹And God^H0430 said^H0559 to Jonah^H3124, Doest thou well^H3190 to be angry^H2734 for the gourd^H7021? And he said^H0559, I do well^H3190 to be angry^H2734, even unto death^H4194. ¹⁰Then said^H0559 the LORD^H3068, Thou hast had pity^H2347 on the gourd^H7021, for the which thou hast not laboured^H5998, neither madest it grow^H1431; which came up in a night^H1121, and perished^H0006 in a night^H1121: ¹¹And should not I spare^H2347 Nineveh^H5210, that great^H1419 city^H5892, wherein are^H3426 more^H7235 than sixscore^H8147 thousand^H7239 persons^H0120 that cannot discern^H3045 between their right hand^H3225 and their left hand^H8040; and also much^H7227 cattle^H0929?
