#### Jon 1

1 Now the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came unto Jonah 03124 the son 01121 of Amittai 0573, saying 0559 08800,
2 Arise 06965 08798, go 03212 08798 to Nineveh 05210, that great 01419 city 05892, and cry 07121 08798 against it; for their wickedness 07451 is come up 05927 08804 before 06440 me.
3 But Jonah 03124 rose up 06965 08799 to flee 01272 08800 unto Tarshish 08659 from the presence 06440 of the LORD 03068, and went down 03381 08799 to Joppa 03305; and he found 04672 08799 a ship 0591 going 0935 08802 to Tarshish 08659: so he paid 05414 08799 the fare 07939 thereof, and went down 03381 08799 into it, to go 0935 08800 with them unto Tarshish 08659 from the presence 06440 of the LORD 03068.
4 But the LORD 03068 sent out 02904 08689 a great 01419 wind 07307 into the sea 03220, and there was a mighty 01419 tempest 05591 in the sea 03220, so that the ship 0591 was like 02803 08765 to be broken 07665 08736.
5 Then the mariners 04419 were afraid 03372 08799, and cried 02199 08799 every man 0376 unto his god 0430, and cast forth 02904 08686 the wares 03627 that [were] in the ship 0591 into the sea 03220, to lighten 07043 08687 [it] of them. But Jonah 03124 was gone down 03381 08804 into the sides 03411 of the ship 05600; and he lay 07901 08799, and was fast asleep 07290 08735.
6 So the shipmaster 07227 02259 came 07126 08799 to him, and said 0559 08799 unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper 07290 08737? arise 06965 08798, call 07121 08798 upon thy God 0430, if so be that God 0430 will think 06245 08691 upon us, that we perish 06 08799 not.
7 And they said 0559 08799 every one 0376 to his fellow 07453, Come 03212 08798, and let us cast 05307 08686 lots 01486, that we may know 03045 08799 for whose cause 07945 this evil 07451 [is] upon us. So they cast 05307 08686 lots 01486, and the lot 01486 fell 05307 08799 upon Jonah 03124.
8 Then said 0559 08799 they unto him, Tell 05046 08685 us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil 07451 [is] upon us; What [is] thine occupation 04399? and whence 0370 comest 0935 08799 thou? what [is] thy country 0776? and of what people 05971 [art] thou?
9 And he said 0559 08799 unto them, I [am] an Hebrew 05680; and I fear 03373 the LORD 03068, the God 0430 of heaven 08064, which hath made 06213 08804 the sea 03220 and the dry 03004 [land].
10 Then were the men 0582 exceedingly 01419 03374 afraid 03372 08799, and said 0559 08799 unto him, Why hast thou done 06213 08804 this? For the men 0582 knew 03045 08804 that he fled 01272 08802 from the presence 06440 of the LORD 03068, because he had told 05046 08689 them.
11 Then said 0559 08799 they unto him, What shall we do 06213 08799 unto thee, that the sea 03220 may be calm 08367 08799 unto us? for the sea 03220 wrought 01980 08802, and was tempestuous 05590 08802.
12 And he said 0559 08799 unto them, Take me up 05375 08798, and cast me forth 02904 08685 into the sea 03220; so shall the sea 03220 be calm 08367 08799 unto you: for I know 03045 08802 that for my sake 07945 this great 01419 tempest 05591 [is] upon you.
13 Nevertheless the men 0582 rowed hard 02864 08799 to bring 07725 08687 [it] to the land 03004; but they could 03201 08804 not: for the sea 03220 wrought 01980 08802, and was tempestuous 05590 08802 against them.
14 Wherefore they cried 07121 08799 unto the LORD 03068, and said 0559 08799, We beseech thee 0577, O LORD 03068, we beseech thee, let us not perish 06 08799 for this man's 0376 life 05315, and lay 05414 08799 not upon us innocent 05355 08675 05355 blood 01818: for thou, O LORD 03068, hast done 06213 08804 as it pleased 02654 08804 thee.
15 So they took up 05375 08799 Jonah 03124, and cast him forth 02904 08686 into the sea 03220: and the sea 03220 ceased 05975 08799 from her raging 02197.
16 Then the men 0582 feared 03372 08799 the LORD 03068 exceedingly 01419 03374, and offered 02076 08799 a sacrifice 02077 unto the LORD 03068, and made 05087 08799 vows 05088.
17 Now the LORD 03068 had prepared 04487 08762 a great 01419 fish 01709 to swallow up 01104 08800 Jonah 03124. And Jonah 03124 was in the belly 04578 of the fish 01709 three 07969 days 03117 and three 07969 nights 03915.

#### Jon 2

1 Then Jonah 03124 prayed 06419 08691 unto the LORD 03068 his God 0430 out of the fish's 01710 belly 04578,
2 And said 0559 08799, I cried 07121 08804 by reason of mine affliction 06869 unto the LORD 03068, and he heard 06030 08799 me; out of the belly 0990 of hell 07585 cried 07768 08765 I, [and] thou heardest 08085 08804 my voice 06963.
3 For thou hadst cast 07993 08686 me into the deep 04688, in the midst 03824 of the seas 03220; and the floods 05104 compassed 05437 08779 me about: all thy billows 04867 and thy waves 01530 passed over 05674 08804 me.
4 Then I said 0559 08804, I am cast out 01644 08738 of thy sight 05869; yet I will look 05027 08687 again 03254 08686 toward thy holy 06944 temple 01964.
5 The waters 04325 compassed me about 0661 08804, [even] to the soul 05315: the depth 08415 closed me round about 05437 08779, the weeds 05488 were wrapped about 02280 08803 my head 07218.
6 I went down 03381 08804 to the bottoms 07095 of the mountains 02022; the earth 0776 with her bars 01280 [was] about me for ever 05769: yet hast thou brought up 05927 08686 my life 02416 from corruption 07845, O LORD 03068 my God 0430.
7 When my soul 05315 fainted 05848 08692 within me I remembered 02142 08804 the LORD 03068: and my prayer 08605 came in 0935 08799 unto thee, into thine holy 06944 temple 01964.
8 They that observe 08104 08764 lying 07723 vanities 01892 forsake 05800 08799 their own mercy 02617.
9 But I will sacrifice 02076 08799 unto thee with the voice 06963 of thanksgiving 08426; I will pay 07999 08762 [that] that I have vowed 05087 08804. Salvation 03444 [is] of the LORD 03068.
10 And the LORD 03068 spake 0559 08799 unto the fish 01709, and it vomited out 06958 08686 Jonah 03124 upon the dry 03004 [land].

#### Jon 3

1 And the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came unto Jonah 03124 the second 08145 time, saying 0559 08800,
2 Arise 06965 08798, go 03212 08798 unto Nineveh 05210, that great 01419 city 05892, and preach 07121 08798 unto it the preaching 07150 that I bid 01696 08802 thee.
3 So Jonah 03124 arose 06965 08799, and went 03212 08799 unto Nineveh 05210, according to the word 01697 of the LORD 03068. Now Nineveh 05210 was an exceeding 0430 great 01419 city 05892 of three 07969 days' 03117 journey 04109.
4 And Jonah 03124 began 02490 08686 to enter 0935 08800 into the city 05892 a 0259 day's 03117 journey 04109, and he cried 07121 08799, and said 0559 08799, Yet forty 0705 days 03117, and Nineveh 05210 shall be overthrown 02015 08737.
5 So the people 0582 of Nineveh 05210 believed 0539 08686 God 0430, and proclaimed 07121 08799 a fast 06685, and put 03847 08799 on sackcloth 08242, from the greatest 01419 of them even to the least 06996 of them.
6 For word 01697 came 05060 08799 unto the king 04428 of Nineveh 05210, and he arose 06965 08799 from his throne 03678, and he laid 05674 08686 his robe 0155 from him, and covered 03680 08762 [him] with sackcloth 08242, and sat 03427 08799 in ashes 0665.
7 And he caused [it] to be proclaimed 02199 08686 and published 0559 08799 through Nineveh 05210 by the decree 02940 of the king 04428 and his nobles 01419, saying 0559 08800, Let neither man 0120 nor beast 0929, herd 01241 nor flock 06629, taste 02938 08799 any thing 03972: let them not feed 07462 08799, nor drink 08354 08799 water 04325:
8 But let man 0120 and beast 0929 be covered 03680 08691 with sackcloth 08242, and cry 07121 08799 mightily 02394 unto God 0430: yea, let them turn 07725 08799 every one 0376 from his evil 07451 way 01870, and from the violence 02555 that [is] in their hands 03709.
9 Who can tell 03045 08802 [if] God 0430 will turn 07725 08799 and repent 05162 08738, and turn away 07725 08804 from his fierce 02740 anger 0639, that we perish 06 08799 not?
10 And God 0430 saw 07200 08799 their works 04639, that they turned 07725 08804 from their evil 07451 way 01870; and God 0430 repented 05162 08735 of the evil 07451, that he had said 01696 08765 that he would do 06213 08800 unto them; and he did 06213 08804 [it] not.

#### Jon 4

1 But it displeased 03415 08799 Jonah 03124 exceedingly 01419 07451, and he was very angry 02734 08799.
2 And he prayed 06419 08691 unto the LORD 03068, and said 0559 08799, I pray 0577 thee, O LORD 03068, [was] not this my saying 01697, when I was yet in my country 0127? Therefore I fled 01272 08800 before 06923 08765 unto Tarshish 08659: for I knew 03045 08804 that thou [art] a gracious 02587 God 0410, and merciful 07349, slow 0750 to anger 0639, and of great 07227 kindness 02617, and repentest 05162 08737 thee of the evil 07451.
3 Therefore now, O LORD 03068, take 03947 08798, I beseech thee, my life 05315 from me; for [it is] better 02896 for me to die 04194 than to live 02416.
4 Then said 0559 08799 the LORD 03068, Doest thou well 03190 08687 to be angry 02734 08804?
5 So Jonah 03124 went out 03318 08799 of the city 05892, and sat 03427 08799 on the east side 06924 of the city 05892, and there made 06213 08799 him a booth 05521, and sat 03427 08799 under it in the shadow 06738, till he might see 07200 08799 what would become of the city 05892.
6 And the LORD 03068 God 0430 prepared 04487 08762 a gourd 07021, and made [it] to come up 05927 08799 over Jonah 03124, that it might be a shadow 06738 over his head 07218, to deliver 05337 08687 him from his grief 07451. So Jonah 03124 was exceeding 01419 08057 glad 08055 08799 of the gourd 07021.
7 But God 0430 prepared 04487 08762 a worm 08438 when the morning 07837 rose 05927 08800 the next day 04283, and it smote 05221 08686 the gourd 07021 that it withered 03001 08799.
8 And it came to pass, when the sun 08121 did arise 02224 08800, that God 0430 prepared 04487 08762 a vehement 02759 east 06921 wind 07307; and the sun 08121 beat 05221 08686 upon the head 07218 of Jonah 03124, that he fainted 05968 08691, and wished 07592 08799 in himself 05315 to die 04191 08800, and said 0559 08799, [It is] better 02896 for me to die 04194 than to live 02416.
9 And God 0430 said 0559 08799 to Jonah 03124, Doest thou well 03190 08687 to be angry 02734 08804 for the gourd 07021? And he said 0559 08799, I do well 03190 08687 to be angry 02734 08804, [even] unto death 04194.
10 Then said 0559 08799 the LORD 03068, Thou hast had pity 02347 08804 on the gourd 07021, for the which thou hast not laboured 05998 08804, neither madest it grow 01431 08765; which came up in a night 01121 03915, and perished 06 08804 in a night 01121 03915:
11 And should not I spare 02347 08799 Nineveh 05210, that great 01419 city 05892, wherein are 03426 more 07235 08687 than sixscore 08147 06240 thousand 07239 persons 0120 that cannot discern 03045 08804 between their right hand 03225 and their left hand 08040; and [also] much 07227 cattle 0929?
