01 : 01 . Now the word <01697 +dabar > of the LORD < 03068

+Y@hovah > came <01961 +hayah > unto Jonah <03124 +Yonah > the
son

<01121 +ben > of Amittai <00573 +>Amittay > , saying <00559

+>amar > ,



01 : 02 Arise <06965 +quwm > , go <03212 +yalak > to Nineveh

<05210 +Niyn@veh > , that great <01419 +gadowl > city <05892

+<iyr > , and cry <07121 +qara> > against < 05921 +<al > it ;
for

their wickedness <07451 +ra< > is come <05927 +< alah > up
before

<06440 +paniym > me .



01 : 03 But Jonah <03124 +Yonah > rose <06965 +quwm > up to
flee

<01272 +barach > unto Tarshish <08659 +Tarshiysh > from the

presence <06440 +paniym > of the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , and

went <03381 +yarad > down <03381 +yarad > to Joppa <03305
+Yapho

> ; and he found <04672 +matsa> > a ship <00591 +>oniyah >
going

<00935 +bow> > to Tarshish <08659 +Tarshiysh > : so he paid
<05414

+nathan > the fare <07939 +sakar > thereof , and went <03381

+yarad > down <03381 +yarad > into it , to go < 00935 +bow> >
with

them unto Tarshish <08659 +Tarshiysh > from the presence <06440

+paniym > of the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > .



01 : 04 . But the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > sent <02904 +tuwl >
out

a great <01419 +gadowl > wind <07307 +ruwach > into <00413
+>el >

the sea <03220 +yam > , and there was a mighty <01419 +gadowl
>

tempest <05591 +ca<ar > in the sea <03220 +yam > , so that the

ship <00591 +>oniyah > was like <02803 +chashab > to be broken

<07665 +shabar > .



01 : 05 Then the mariners <04419 +mallach > were afraid <03372

+yare> > , and cried <02199 +za<aq > every man unto his god
<00430

+>elohiym > , and cast <02904 +tuwl > forth < 02904 +tuwl > the

wares <03627 +k@liy > that [ were ] in the ship < 00591
+>oniyah

> into <00413 +>el > the sea <03220 +yam > , to lighten <07043

+qalal > [ it ] of them . But Jonah <03124 +Yonah > was gone

<03381 +yarad > down <03381 +yarad > into <00413 +>el > the
sides

<03411 +y@rekah > of the ship <05600 +c@phiynah > ; and he lay

<07901 +shakab > , and was fast asleep <07290 +radam > .



01 : 06 So the shipmaster came <07126 +qarab > to him , and
said

<00559 +>amar > unto him , What <04100 +mah > meanest thou ,
O

sleeper <07290 +radam > ? arise <06965 +quwm > , call <07121

+qara> > upon thy God <00430 +>elohiym > , if <00194 +>uwlay
> so

be that God <00430 +>elohiym > will think <06245 +<ashath >
upon

us , that we perish <6> not .



01 : 07 And they said <00559 +>amar > every <00376 +>iysh > one

<00376 +>iysh > to his fellow <07453 +rea< > , Come <03212

+yalak > , and let us cast <05307 +naphal > lots < 01486
+gowral >

, that we may know <03045 +yada< > for whose <04310 +miy >
cause

<07945 +shel > this <02063 +zo>th > evil < 07451 +ra< > [ is ]

upon us . So they cast <05307 +naphal > lots <01486 +gowral >
,

and the lot <01486 +gowral > fell <05307 +naphal > upon Jonah

<03124 +Yonah > .



01 : 08 Then said <00559 +>amar > they unto him , Tell <05046

+nagad > us , we pray <04994 +na> > thee , for whose cause
<00834

+>aher > this <02063 +zo>th > evil <07451 +ra< > [ is ] upon
us

; What <04100 +mah > [ is ] thine occupation <04399
+m@la>kah >

? and whence <00370 +>aiyn > comest <00935 +bow> > thou ?
what

<04100 +mah > [ is ] thy country <00776 +>erets > ? and of
what

people <05971 +<am > [ art ] thou ?



01 : 09 And he said <00559 +>amar > unto them , I [ am ] an

Hebrew <05680 +<Ibriy > ; and I fear <03373 +yare> > the LORD

<03068 +Y@hovah > , the God <00430 +>elohiym > of heaven
<08064

+shamayim > , which <00834 +>aher > hath made < 06213 +<asah >
the

sea <03220 +yam > and the dry <03004 +yabbashah > [ land ] .



01 : 10 Then were the men <00582 +>enowsh > exceedingly <01419

+gadowl > afraid <03372 +yare> > , and said < 00559 +>amar >
unto

him , Why <04100 +mah > hast thou done <06213 +< asah > this

<02063 +zo>th > ? For the men <00582 +>enowsh > knew <03045

+yada< > that he fled <01272 +barach > from the presence <06440

+paniym > of the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , because < 03588 +kiy
>

he had told <05046 +nagad > them .



01 : 11 . Then said <00559 +>amar > they unto him , What
<04100

+mah > shall we do <06213 +<asah > unto thee , that the sea
<03220

+yam > may be calm <08367 +shathaq > unto us ? for the sea
<03220

+yam > wrought <01980 +halak > , and was tempestuous <05490

+cowph > .



01 : 12 And he said <00559 +>amar > unto them , Take <05375

+nasa> > me up , and cast <02904 +tuwl > me forth <02904
+tuwl >

into <00413 +>el > the sea <03220 +yam > ; so shall the sea

<03220 +yam > be calm <08367 +shathaq > unto you : for I know

<03045 +yada< > that for my sake <07945 +shel > this great
<01419

+gadowl > tempest <05591 +ca<ar > [ is ] upon you .



01 : 13 Nevertheless the men <00582 +>enowsh > rowed <02864

+chathar > hard to bring <07725 +shuwb > [ it ] to the land

<03004 +yabbashah > ; but they could <03201 +yakol > not : for

the sea <03220 +yam > wrought <01980 +halak > , and was

tempestuous <05490 +cowph > against <05921 +<al > them .



01 : 14 Wherefore they cried <07121 +qara> > unto the LORD
<03068

+Y@hovah > , and said <00559 +>amar > , We beseech <00577

+>anna> > thee , O LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , we beseech <00577

+>anna> > thee , let us not perish <6> for this <02088 +zeh >
man

s <00376 +>iysh > life <05315 +nephesh > , and lay <05414

+nathan > not upon us innocent <05355 +naqiy > blood <01818
+dam >

: for thou , O LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , hast done < 06213
+<asah

> as it pleased <02654 +chaphets > thee .



01 : 15 So they took up Jonah <03124 +Yonah > , and cast <02904

+tuwl > him forth <02904 +tuwl > into <00413 +> el > the sea
<03220

+yam > : and the sea <03220 +yam > ceased <05975 +<amad > from
her

raging <02197 +za<aph > .



01 : 16 Then the men <00582 +>enowsh > feared <03372 +yare> >
the

LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > exceedingly <01419 +gadowl > , and
offered

<02076 +zabach > a sacrifice <02077 +zebach > unto the LORD
<03068

+Y@hovah > , and made vows <05088 +neder > .



01 : 17 Now the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > had prepared < 04487
+manah

> a great <01419 +gadowl > fish <01709 +dag > to swallow <01104

+bala< > up Jonah <03124 +Yonah > . And Jonah < 03124 +Yonah >
was

in the belly <04578 +me<ah > of the fish <01709 +dag > three

<07969 +shalowsh > days <03117 +yowm > and three <07969
+shalowsh

> nights <03915 +layil > .



02 : 01 . Then Jonah <03124 +Yonah > prayed <06419 +palal >
unto

the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > his God <00430 +>elohiym > out of
the

fish s <01710 +dagah > belly <04578 +me<ah > ,



02 : 02 And said <00559 +>amar > , I cried <07121 +qara> > by

reason of mine affliction <06869 +tsarah > unto the LORD <03068

+Y@hovah > , and he heard <06030 +<anah > me ; out of the
belly

<00990 +beten > of hell <07585 +sh@>owl > cried <07768
+shava< >

I , [ and ] thou heardest <08085 +shama< > my voice <06963

+qowl > .



02 : 03 For thou hadst cast <07993 +shalak > me into the deep

<04688 +m@tsowlah > , in the midst <03824 +lebab > of the seas

<03220 +yam > ; and the floods <05104 +nahar > compassed
<05437

+cabab > me about : all <03605 +kol > thy billows < 04867
+mishbar

> and thy waves <01530 +gal > passed <05674 +< abar > over
<05674

+<abar > me .



02 : 04 Then I said <00559 +>amar > , I am cast < 01644
+garash >

out of thy sight <05869 +<ayin > ; yet <00389 +> ak > I will
look

<05027 +nabat > again <03254 +yacaph > toward < 00413 +>el >
thy

holy <06944 +qodesh > temple <01964 +heykal > .



02 : 05 The waters <04325 +mayim > compassed <00661 +>aphaph >
me

about , [ even ] to the soul <05315 +nephesh > : the depth

<08415 +t@howm > closed <05437 +cabab > me round <05437
+cabab >

about , the weeds <05488 +cuwph > were wrapped <02280
+chabash >

about my head <07218 +ro>sh > .



02 : 06 I went <03381 +yarad > down <03381 +yarad > to the
bottoms

of the mountains <02022 +har > ; the earth <00776 +>erets >
with

her bars <01280 +b@riyach > [ was ] about <01157 +b@<ad > me
for

ever <05769 +<owlam > : yet hast thou brought <05927 +<alah >
up

my life <02416 +chay > from corruption <07845 +shachath > , O

LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > my God <00430 +>elohiym > .



02 : 07 When my soul <05315 +nephesh > fainted <05848 +<ataph >

within <05921 +<al > me I remembered <02142 +zakar > the LORD

<03068 +Y@hovah > : and my prayer <08605 +t@phillah > came
<00935

+bow> > in unto thee , into <00413 +>el > thine holy <06944

+qodesh > temple <01964 +heykal > .



02 : 08 They that observe <08104 +shamar > lying <07723 +shav>
>

vanities <01892 +hebel > forsake <05800 +<azab > their own
mercy

<02617 +checed > .



02 : 09 But I will sacrifice <02076 +zabach > unto thee with the

voice <06963 +qowl > of thanksgiving <08426 +towdah > ; I will

pay <07999 +shalam > [ that ] that I have vowed < 05087
+nadar >

. Salvation <03444 +y@shuw<ah > [ is ] of the LORD <03068

+Y@hovah > .



02 : 10 . And the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > spake <00559 +>amar >

unto the fish <01709 +dag > , and it vomited <06958 +qow> >
out

Jonah <03124 +Yonah > upon the dry <03004 +yabbashah > [ land
]

.



03 : 01 . And the word <01697 +dabar > of the LORD < 03068

+Y@hovah > came <01961 +hayah > unto Jonah <03124 +Yonah > the

second <08145 +sheniy > time , saying <00559 +> amar > ,



03 : 02 Arise <06965 +quwm > , go <03312 +Y@phunneh > unto

Nineveh <05210 +Niyn@veh > , that great <01419 +gadowl > city

<05892 +<iyr > , and preach <07121 +qara> > unto it the
preaching

<07150 +q@riy>ah > that I bid <01696 +dabar > thee .



03 : 03 So Jonah <03124 +Yonah > arose <06965 +quwm > , and
went

<03212 +yalak > unto Nineveh <05210 +Niyn@veh > , according to

the word <01697 +dabar > of the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > . Now

Nineveh <05210 +Niyn@veh > was an exceeding <00430 +>elohiym >

great <01419 +gadowl > city <05892 +<iyr > of three <07969

+shalowsh > days <03117 +yowm > journey <04109 +mahalak > .



03 : 04 And Jonah <03124 +Yonah > began <02490 +chalal > to
enter

<00935 +bow> > into the city <05892 +<iyr > a day s <03117
+yowm

> journey <04109 +mahalak > , and he cried <07121 +qara> > ,
and

said <00559 +>amar > , Yet <05750 +<owd > forty <00705

+>arba<iym > days <03117 +yowm > , and Nineveh <05210
+Niyn@veh >

shall be overthrown <02015 +haphak > .



03 : 05 . So the people <00582 +>enowsh > of Nineveh <05210

+Niyn@veh > believed <00539 +>aman > God <00430 +>elohiym > ,
and

proclaimed <07121 +qara> > a fast <06685 +tsowm > , and put

<03847 +labash > on sackcloth <08242 +saq > , from the
greatest

<01419 +gadowl > of them even to the least <06996 +qatan > of
them

.



03 : 06 For word <01697 +dabar > came <05060 +naga< > unto the

king <04428 +melek > of Nineveh <05210 +Niyn@veh > , and he
arose

<06965 +quwm > from his throne <03678 +kicce> > , and he laid

<05674 +<abar > his robe <00155 +>addereth > from him , and

covered <03680 +kacah > [ him ] with sackcloth <08242 +saq >
,

and sat <03427 +yashab > in ashes <00665 +>epher > .



03 : 07 And he caused [ it ] to be proclaimed <02199 +za< aq >
and

published <00559 +>amar > through Nineveh <05210 +Niyn@veh > by

the decree <02940 +ta<am > of the king <04428 +melek > and his

nobles <01419 +gadowl > , saying <00559 +>amar > , Let
neither

<00369 +>ayin > man <00120 +>adam > nor beast <00929 +b@hemah
> ,

herd <01241 +baqar > nor flock <06629 +tso>n > , taste <02938

+ta<am > any <03792 +k@thab > thing : let them not feed <07462

+ra<ah > , nor <00408 +>al > drink <08354 +shathah > water
<04325

+mayim > :



03 : 08 But let man <00120 +>adam > and beast <00929 +b@hemah
> be

covered <03680 +kacah > with sackcloth <08242 +saq > , and cry

<07121 +qara> > mightily <02393 +chezqah > unto God <00430

+>elohiym > : yea , let them turn <07725 +shuwb > every <00376

+>iysh > one <00376 +>iysh > from his evil < 07451 +ra< > way

<01870 +derek > , and from the violence <02555 +chamac > that
[

is ] in their hands <03709 +kaph > .



03 : 09 Who <04310 +miy > can tell <03045 +yada< > [ if ] God

<00430 +>elohiym > will turn <07725 +shuwb > and repent <05162

+nacham > , and turn <07725 +shuwb > away from his fierce
<02740

+charown > anger <00639 +>aph > , that we perish <6> not ?



03 : 10 And God <00430 +>elohiym > saw <07200 +ra>ah > their
works

<04639 +ma<aseh > , that they turned <07725 +shuwb > from
their

evil <07451 +ra< > way <01870 +derek > ; and God <00430

+>elohiym > repented <05162 +nacham > of the evil <07451 +ra<
> ,

that he had said <01696 +dabar > that he would do < 06213
+<asah >

unto them ; and he did <06213 +<asah > [ it ] not .



04 : 01 . But it displeased Jonah <03124 +Yonah > exceedingly

<01419 +gadowl > , and he was very angry <02734 +charah > .



04 : 02 And he prayed <06419 +palal > unto the LORD < 03068

+Y@hovah > , and said <00559 +>amar > , I pray < 00577
+>anna> >

thee , O LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , [ was ] not this < 02088
+zeh

> my saying <01697 +dabar > , when <05704 +<ad > I was yet
<05704

+<ad > in my country <00127 +>adamah > ? Therefore I fled
<01272

+barach > before <06924 +qedem > unto Tarshish < 08659
+Tarshiysh >

: for I knew <03045 +yada< > that thou [ art ] a gracious
<02587

+channuwn > God <00410 +>el > , and merciful < 07349 +rachuwm
> ,

slow <00750 +>arek > to anger <00639 +>aph > , and of great

<07227 +rab > kindness <02617 +checed > , and repentest <05162

+nacham > thee of the evil <07451 +ra< > .



04 : 03 Therefore now <06258 +<attah > , O LORD < 03068
+Y@hovah >

, take <03947 +laqach > , I beseech <04994 +na> > thee , my

life <05315 +nephesh > from me ; for [ it is ] better <02896

+towb > for me to die <04194 +maveth > than to live < 02416
+chay >

.



04 : 04 Then said <00559 +>amar > the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > ,

Doest thou well <03190 +yatab > to be angry <02734 +charah > ?



04 : 05 . So Jonah <03124 +Yonah > went <03318 +yatsa> > out
of

the city <05892 +<iyr > , and sat <03427 +yashab > on the east

<06924 +qedem > side <06924 +qedem > of the city <05892 +<iyr
> ,

and there <08033 +sham > made <06213 +<asah > him a booth
<05521

+cukkah > , and sat <03427 +yashab > under <08478 +tachath >
it

in the shadow <06738 +tsel > , till <05704 +<ad > he might see

<07200 +ra>ah > what <04100 +mah > would become <01961 +hayah
>

of the city <05892 +<iyr > .



04 : 06 And the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > God <00430 +> elohiym >

prepared <04487 +manah > a gourd <07021 +qiyqayown > , and
made

[ it ] to come <05927 +<alah > up over <05921 +< al > Jonah
<03124

+Yonah > , that it might be a shadow <06738 +tsel > over <05921

+<al > his head <07218 +ro>sh > , to deliver < 05337 +natsal >
him

from his grief <07451 +ra< > . So Jonah <03124 +Yonah > was

exceeding <01419 +gadowl > glad <08056 +sameach > of the gourd

<07021 +qiyqayown > .



04 : 07 But God <00430 +>elohiym > prepared <04487 +manah > a
worm

<08438 +towla< > when the morning <07837 +shachar > rose <05927

+<alah > the next <04283 +mochorath > day <04283 +mochorath > ,

and it smote <05221 +nakah > the gourd <07021 +qiyqayown >
that it

withered <03001 +yabesh > .



04 : 08 And it came <01961 +hayah > to pass , when the sun
<08121

+shemesh > did arise <02224 +zarach > , that God < 00430
+>elohiym

> prepared <04487 +manah > a vehement <02759 +chariyshiy > east

<06921 +qadiym > wind <07307 +ruwach > ; and the sun <08121

+shemesh > beat <05221 +nakah > upon the head <07218 +ro>sh >
of

Jonah <03124 +Yonah > , that he fainted <05968 +< alaph > ,
and

wished <07592 +sha>al > in himself to die <04191 +muwth > ,
and

said <00559 +>amar > , [ It is ] better <02896 +towb > for
me

to die <04191 +muwth > than to live <02416 +chay > .



04 : 09 And God <00430 +>elohiym > said <00559 +> amar > to
Jonah

<03124 +Yonah > , Doest thou well <03190 +yatab > to be angry

<02734 +charah > for the gourd <07021 +qiyqayown > ? And he
