<pb/>The word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> came<S>1961</S> to Jonah<S>3124</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Amittai<S>573</S> saying,<S>559</S>

"Arise,<S>6965</S> go<S>1980</S> to Nineveh<S>5210</S> the great<S>1419</S> city,<S>5892</S> and cry<S>7121</S> against<S>5921</S> it, for their wickedness<S>9567</S> has come<S>5927</S> up before<S>6440</S> Me."

But Jonah<S>3124</S> rose<S>6965</S> up to flee<S>1272</S> to Tarshish<S>8659</S> from the presence<S>6440</S> of the Lord.<S>3068</S> So he went<S>3381</S> down<S>3381</S> to Joppa,<S>3305</S> found<S>4672</S> a ship<S>591</S> which was going<S>935</S> to Tarshish,<S>8659</S> paid<S>5414</S> the fare,<S>7939</S> and went<S>3381</S> down<S>3381</S> into it to go<S>935</S> with them to Tarshish<S>8659</S> from the presence<S>6440</S> of the Lord.<S>3068</S>


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> hurled<S>2904</S> a great<S>1419</S> wind<S>7307</S> on the sea<S>3220</S> and there was a great<S>1419</S> storm<S>5591</S> on the sea<S>3220</S> so that the ship<S>591</S> was about to break<S>7665</S> up.


text:
Then the sailors<S>4419</S> became<S>3372</S> afraid,<S>3372</S> and every<S>376</S> man<S>376</S> cried<S>2199</S> to his god,<S>430</S> and they threw<S>2904</S> the cargo<S>3627</S> which<S>834</S> was in the ship<S>591</S> into the sea<S>3220</S> to lighten<S>7043</S> [it] for them.

So the captain<S>9538</S> <S>2259</S> approached<S>7126</S> him and said,<S>559</S> "How<S>4100</S> is it that you are sleeping<S>7290</S>?

text:
And each<S>376</S> man<S>376</S> said<S>559</S> to his mate,<S>7453</S> "Come,<S>1980</S> let us cast<S>5307</S> lots<S>1486</S> so we may learn<S>3045</S> on whose<S>4310</S> account<S>7945</S> this<S>2088</S> calamity<S>9567</S> [has struck] us." So they cast<S>5307</S> lots<S>1486</S> and the lot<S>1486</S> fell<S>5307</S> on Jonah.<S>3124</S>


text:
Then they said<S>559</S> to him, "Tell<S>5046</S> us, now!<S>4994</S> On whose<S>4310</S> account [has] this<S>2088</S> calamity<S>9567</S> [struck] us? What<S>4100</S> is your occupation<S>4399</S>?

And he said<S>559</S> to them, "I am a Hebrew,<S>5680</S> and I fear<S>3372</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of heaven<S>8064</S> who<S>834</S> made<S>6213</S> the sea<S>3220</S> and the dry<S>3004</S> land.<S>3004</S>"


text:
Then the men<S>376</S> became<S>3372</S> extremely<S>3374</S> <S>1419</S> frightened<S>3372</S> and they said<S>559</S> to him, "How<S>4100</S> could you do<S>6213</S> this<S>2088</S>?" For the men<S>376</S> knew<S>3045</S> that he was fleeing<S>1272</S> from the presence<S>6440</S> of the Lord,<S>3068</S> because<S>3588</S> he had told<S>5046</S> them.


text:
So they said<S>559</S> to him, "What<S>4100</S> should we do<S>6213</S> to you that the sea<S>3220</S> may become<S>8367</S> calm<S>8367</S> for us?" – for the sea<S>3220</S> was becoming<S>1980</S> increasingly<S>1980</S> stormy.<S>5590</S>


text:
And he said<S>559</S> to them, "Pick<S>5375</S> me up and throw<S>2904</S> me into the sea.<S>3220</S> Then the sea<S>3220</S> will become<S>8367</S> calm<S>8367</S> for you, for I know<S>3045</S> that on account<S>7945</S> of me this<S>2088</S> great<S>1419</S> storm<S>5591</S> [has come] upon you."


text:
However, the men<S>376</S> rowed<S>2864</S> [desperately] to return<S>7725</S> to land<S>3004</S> but they could<S>3201</S> not, for the sea<S>3220</S> was becoming<S>1980</S> [even] stormier<S>5590</S> against<S>5921</S> them.


text:
Then they called<S>7121</S> on the Lord<S>3068</S> and said,<S>559</S> "We earnestly<S>577</S> pray,<S>577</S> O<S>577</S> Lord,<S>3068</S> do not let us perish on account of this<S>6</S> man's life<S>2088</S> and do not put<S>5315</S> innocent<S>5414</S> blood<S>5355</S> on us; for Thou, O Lord,<S>1818</S> hast done<S>3068</S> as Thou hast pleased.<S>6213</S>"


text:
So they picked<S>5375</S> up Jonah,<S>3124</S> threw<S>2904</S> him into the sea,<S>3220</S> and the sea<S>3220</S> stopped<S>5975</S> its raging.<S>2197</S>


text:
Then the men<S>376</S> feared<S>3372</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> greatly,<S>1419</S> and they offered<S>2076</S> a sacrifice<S>2077</S> to the Lord<S>3068</S> and made<S>5087</S> vows.<S>5088</S>


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> appointed<S>4487</S> a great<S>1419</S> fish<S>1709</S> to swallow<S>1104</S> Jonah,<S>3124</S> and Jonah<S>3124</S> was in the stomach<S>4578</S> of the fish<S>1709</S> three<S>7969</S> days<S>3117</S> and three<S>7969</S> nights.<S>3915</S>

Then Jonah<S>3124</S> prayed<S>6419</S> to the Lord<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S> from the stomach<S>4578</S> of the fish,<S>1710</S>


text:
and he said,<S>559</S> <t>"I called<S>7121</S> out of my distress<S>6869</S> to the Lord,<S>3068</S> And He answered<S>6030</S> me. I cried<S>7768</S> for help<S>7768</S> from the depth<S>990</S> of Sheol;<S>7585</S> Thou didst hear<S>8085</S> my voice.<S>6963</S></t>

<pb/><t>"I descended<S>3381</S> to the roots<S>7095</S> of the mountains.<S>2022</S> The earth<S>776</S> with its bars<S>1280</S> [was] around<S>1157</S> me forever,<S>5769</S> But Thou hast brought<S>5927</S> up my life<S>9132</S> from the pit,<S>7845</S> O Lord<S>3068</S> my God.<S>430</S></t>


text:
<pb/><t>"While I was fainting<S>5848</S> away,<S>5848</S> I remembered<S>2142</S> the Lord;<S>3068</S> And my prayer<S>8605</S> came<S>935</S> to Thee, Into Thy holy<S>6944</S> temple.<S>1964</S></t>

<pb/><t>"Those who regard<S>8104</S> vain<S>7723</S> idols<S>1892</S> Forsake<S>5800</S> their faithfulness,<S>2617</S></t>

Then the Lord<S>3068</S> commanded<S>559</S> the fish,<S>1709</S> and it vomited<S>9513</S> Jonah<S>3124</S> up onto<S>413</S> the dry<S>3004</S> land.<S>3004</S>

<pb/>Now the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> came<S>1961</S> to Jonah<S>3124</S> the second<S>8145</S> time,<S>8145</S> saying,<S>559</S>

"Arise,<S>6965</S> go<S>1980</S> to Nineveh<S>5210</S> the great<S>1419</S> city<S>5892</S> and proclaim<S>7121</S> to it the proclamation<S>7150</S> which<S>834</S> I am going to tell<S>1696</S> you."

So Jonah<S>3124</S> arose<S>6965</S> and went<S>1980</S> to Nineveh<S>5210</S> according to the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord.<S>3068</S> Now Nineveh<S>5210</S> was an exceedingly<S>430</S> great<S>1419</S> city,<S>5892</S> a three<S>7969</S> days' walk.<S>4109</S>

Then Jonah<S>3124</S> began<S>2490</S> to go<S>935</S> through the city<S>5892</S> one<S>259</S> day's walk;<S>4109</S> and he cried<S>7121</S> out and said,<S>559</S> "Yet<S>5750</S> forty<S>705</S> days<S>3117</S> and Nineveh<S>5210</S> will be overthrown.<S>2015</S>"


text:
<pb/>Then the people<S>376</S> of Nineveh<S>5210</S> believed<S>539</S> in God;<S>430</S> and they called<S>7121</S> a fast<S>6685</S> and put<S>3847</S> on sackcloth<S>8242</S> from the greatest<S>1419</S> to the least<S>6996</S> of them.


text:
When the word<S>1697</S> reached<S>5060</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Nineveh,<S>5210</S> he arose<S>6965</S> from his throne,<S>3678</S> laid<S>5674</S> aside<S>5674</S> his robe<S>155</S> from him, covered<S>3680</S> [himself] with sackcloth,<S>8242</S> and sat<S>3427</S> on the ashes.<S>665</S>


text:
And he issued<S>2199</S> a proclamation<S>2199</S> and it said,<S>559</S> "In Nineveh<S>5210</S> by the decree<S>2940</S> of the king<S>4428</S> and his nobles:<S>1419</S> Do not let man,<S>120</S> beast,<S>929</S> herd,<S>1241</S> or flock<S>6629</S> taste<S>2938</S> a thing.<S>3972</S> Do not let them eat<S>7462</S> or drink<S>8354</S> water.<S>4325</S>


text:
"But both man<S>120</S> and beast<S>929</S> must be covered<S>3680</S> with sackcloth;<S>8242</S> and let men call<S>7121</S> on God<S>430</S> earnestly<S>2394</S> that each<S>376</S> may turn<S>7725</S> from his wicked<S>9567</S> way<S>1870</S> and from the violence<S>2555</S> which<S>834</S> is in his hands.<S>3709</S>

"Who<S>4310</S> knows,<S>3045</S> God<S>430</S> may turn<S>7725</S> and relent,<S>5162</S> and withdraw<S>7725</S> His burning<S>2740</S> anger<S>639</S> so that we shall not perish?"

When God<S>430</S> saw<S>7200</S> their deeds,<S>4639</S> that they turned<S>7725</S> from their wicked<S>9567</S> way,<S>1870</S> then God<S>430</S> relented<S>5162</S> concerning<S>5921</S> the calamity<S>9567</S> which<S>834</S> He had declared<S>1696</S> He would bring<S>6213</S> upon them.

text:
<pb/>But it greatly<S>1419</S> displeased<S>7489</S> Jonah,<S>3124</S> and he became<S>2734</S> angry.<S>2734</S>


text:
And he prayed<S>6419</S> to the Lord<S>3068</S> and said,<S>559</S> "Please<S>577</S> Lord,<S>3068</S> was not this<S>2088</S> what<S>1697</S> I said<S>1696</S> while<S>5704</S> I was still<S>5704</S> in my [own] country<S>127</S>? Therefore,<S>5921</S> <S>3651</S> in order to forestall<S>6923</S> this I fled<S>1272</S> to Tarshish,<S>8659</S> for I knew<S>3045</S> that Thou art a gracious<S>2587</S> and compassionate<S>7349</S> God,<S>410</S> slow<S>750</S> to anger<S>639</S> and abundant<S>7227</S> in lovingkindness,<S>2617</S> and one who relents<S>5162</S> concerning<S>5921</S> calamity.<S>9567</S>

"Therefore now,<S>6258</S> O Lord,<S>3068</S> please<S>4994</S> take<S>3947</S> my life<S>5315</S> from me, for death<S>4194</S> is better<S>2896</S> to me than<S>4480</S> life.<S>9132</S>"

And the Lord<S>3068</S> said,<S>559</S> "Do you have good<S>3190</S> reason<S>3190</S> to be angry<S>2734</S>?"


text:
<pb/>Then Jonah<S>3124</S> went<S>3318</S> out from the city<S>5892</S> and sat<S>3427</S> east<S>6924</S> of it. There<S>8033</S> he made<S>6213</S> a shelter<S>5521</S> for himself and sat<S>3427</S> under<S>8478</S> it in the shade<S>6738</S> until<S>5704</S> <S>834</S> he could see<S>7200</S> what<S>4100</S> would happen<S>1961</S> in the city.<S>5892</S>


text:
So the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> appointed<S>4487</S> a plant<S>7021</S> and it grew<S>5927</S> up over<S>4480</S> <S>5921</S> Jonah<S>3124</S> to be a shade<S>6738</S> over<S>5921</S> his head<S>7218</S> to deliver<S>5337</S> him from his discomfort.<S>9567</S> And Jonah<S>3124</S> was extremely<S>8057</S> <S>1419</S> happy<S>8055</S> about<S>5921</S> the plant.<S>7021</S>
