Jonah 1:16
chevron_left
chevron_right
1
Now the word
of the
L
ORD
came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
2
Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.
3
But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the
L
ORD
, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the
L
ORD
.
4
But the
L
ORD
sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.
5
Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god, and cast forth the wares that
were
in the ship into the sea, to lighten
it
of them. But Jonah was gone down into the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.
6
So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not.
7
And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil
is
upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.
8
Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil
is
upon us; What
is
thine occupation? and whence comest thou? what
is
thy country? and of what people
art
thou?
9
And he said unto them, I
am
an Hebrew; and I fear the
L
ORD
, the God of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry
land
.
10
Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him, Why hast thou done this? For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the
L
ORD
, because he had told them.
11
Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous.
12
And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest
is
upon you.
13
Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring
it
to the land; but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them.
14
Wherefore they cried unto the
L
ORD
, and said, We beseech thee, O
L
ORD
, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man’s life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O
L
ORD
, hast done as it pleased thee.
15
So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging.
Then the men feared the
L
ORD
exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the
L
ORD
, and made vows.
17
Now the
L
ORD
had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
