Jonah 1:1 (WEB) World English Bible

1 Now the word of Yahweh came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
2 "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach against it, for their wickedness has come up before me."
3 But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of Yahweh. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid its fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of Yahweh.
4 But Yahweh sent out a great wind on the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea, so that the ship was likely to break up.
5 Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man to his god. They threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea, to lighten it. But Jonah had gone down into the innermost parts of the ship, and he was laying down, and was fast asleep.
6 So the shipmaster came to him, and said to him, "What do you mean, sleeper? Arise, call on your gods! Maybe the gods will notice us, so that we won't perish."
7 They all said to each other, "Come, let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is on us." So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.
8 Then they asked him, "Tell us, please, for whose cause this evil is on us. What is your occupation? Where do you come from? What is your country? Of what people are you?"
9 He said to them, "I am a Hebrew, and I fear Yahweh, the God of heaven, who has made the sea and the dry land."
10 Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said to him, "What is this that you have done?" For the men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of Yahweh, because he had told them.
11 Then said they to him, "What shall we do to you, that the sea may be calm to us?" For the sea grew more and more tempestuous.
12 He said to them, "Take me up, and throw me into the sea. Then the sea will be calm for you; for I know that because of me this great tempest is on you."
13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to get them back to the land; but they could not, for the sea grew more and more tempestuous against them.
14 Therefore they cried to Yahweh, and said, "We beg you, Yahweh, we beg you, let us not perish for this man's life, and don't lay on us innocent blood; for you, Yahweh, have done as it pleased you."
15 So they took up Jonah, and threw him into the sea; and the sea ceased its raging.
16 Then the men feared Yahweh exceedingly; and they offered a sacrifice to Yahweh, and made vows.
17 Yahweh prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
1 Now the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 Jonah H3124 the son H1121 of Amittai, H573 saying, H559
2 Arise H6965 , go H1980 to H413 Nineveh, H5210 that great H1419 city, H5892 and cry H7121 against H5921 it; for H3588 their wickedness H7451 is come up H5927 before H6440 me.
3 But Jonah H3124 rose up H6965 to flee H1272 unto Tarshish H8659 from the presence H4480 H6440 of the LORD, H3068 and went down H3381 to Joppa; H3305 and he found H4672 a ship H591 going H935 to Tarshish: H8659 so he paid H5414 the fare H7939 thereof , and went down H3381 into it , to go H935 with H5973 them unto Tarshish H8659 from the presence H4480 H6440 of the LORD. H3068
4 But the LORD H3068 sent out H2904 a great H1419 wind H7307 into H413 the sea, H3220 and there was H1961 a mighty H1419 tempest H5591 in the sea, H3220 so that the ship H591 was like H2803 to be broken. H7665
5 Then the mariners H4419 were afraid, H3372 and cried H2199 every man H376 unto H413 his god, H430 and cast forth H2904 H853 the wares H3627 that H834 were in the ship H591 into H413 the sea, H3220 to lighten H7043 it of H4480 H5921 them . But Jonah H3124 was gone down H3381 into H413 the sides H3411 of the ship; H5600 and he lay, H7901 and was fast asleep. H7290
6 So the shipmaster H7227 H2259 came H7126 to H413 him , and said H559 unto him, What H4100 meanest thou , O sleeper H7290 ? arise, H6965 call H7121 upon H413 thy God, H430 if so be H194 that God H430 will think H6245 upon us , that we perish H6 not. H3808
7 And they said H559 every one H376 to H413 his fellow, H7453 Come, H1980 and let us cast H5307 lots, H1486 that we may know H3045 for whose cause H7945 H4310 this H2063 evil H7451 is upon us . So they cast H5307 lots, H1486 and the lot H1486 fell H5307 upon H5921 Jonah. H3124
8 Then said H559 they unto H413 him, Tell H5046 us , we pray thee, H4994 for whose cause H834 H4310 this H2063 evil H7451 is upon us; What H4100 is thine occupation H4399 ? and whence H4480 H370 comest H935 thou? what H4100 is thy country H776 ? and of what H335 H4480 H2088 people H5971 art thou H859 ?
9 And he said H559 unto H413 them, I H595 am a Hebrew; H5680 and I H589 fear H3372 the LORD, H3068 the God H430 of heaven, H8064 which H834 hath made H6213 H853 the sea H3220 and the dry H3004 land .
10 Then were the men H376 exceedingly H1419 afraid H3372 H3374 , and said H559 unto H413 him, Why H4100 hast thou done H6213 this H2063 ? For H3588 the men H376 knew H3045 that H3588 he H1931 fled H1272 from the presence H4480 H6440 of the LORD, H3068 because H3588 he had told H5046 them.
11 Then said H559 they unto H413 him, What H4100 shall we do H6213 unto thee , that the sea H3220 may be calm H8367 unto H4480 H5921 us? for H3588 the sea H3220 wrought, H1980 and was tempestuous. H5590
12 And he said H559 unto H413 them , Take me up, H5375 and cast me forth H2904 into H413 the sea; H3220 so shall the sea H3220 be calm H8367 unto H4480 H5921 you: for H3588 I H589 know H3045 that H3588 for my sake H7945 this H2088 great H1419 tempest H5591 is upon H5921 you.
13 Nevertheless the men H376 rowed H2864 hard to bring H7725 it to H413 the land; H3004 but they could H3201 not: H3808 for H3588 the sea H3220 wrought, H1980 and was tempestuous H5590 against H5921 them.
14 Wherefore they cried H7121 unto H413 the LORD, H3068 and said, H559 We beseech thee, H4994 O LORD, H3068 we beseech thee, H577 let us not H408 perish H6 for this H2088 man's H376 life, H5315 and lay H5414 not H408 upon H5921 us innocent H5355 blood: H1818 for H3588 thou, H859 O LORD, H3068 hast done H6213 as H834 it pleased H2654 thee.
15 So they took up H5375 H853 Jonah, H3124 and cast him forth H2904 into H413 the sea: H3220 and the sea H3220 ceased H5975 from her raging H4480 H2197 .
16 Then the men H376 feared H3372 H3374 H853 the LORD H3068 exceedingly, H1419 and offered H2076 a sacrifice H2077 unto the LORD, H3068 and made H5087 vows. H5088
17 Now the LORD H3068 had prepared H4487 a great H1419 fish H1709 to swallow up H1104 H853 Jonah. H3124 And Jonah H3124 was H1961 in the belly H4578 of the fish H1709 three H7969 days H3117 and three H7969 nights. H3915
