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

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

<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

+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

; 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

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

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

+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

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

+<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

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

+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

<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

+<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

+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 said
<00559 +>amar > , I do well <03190 +yatab > to be angry <02734
+charah > , [ even ] unto death <04194 +maveth > .
04 : 10 Then said <00559 +>amar > the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > ,
Thou hast had pity <02347 +chuwc > on <05921 +<al > the gourd

04 : 11 And should not I spare <02347 +chuwc > Nineveh <05210
+Niyn@veh > , that great <01419 +gadowl > city <05892 +<iyr > ,
