Jonah 1:1-17

1:1

Now the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto Jonah
<03124>

the son
<01121>

of Amittai
<0573>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

{Jonah: Gr. Jonas}

1:2

Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

go
<03212> (8798)

to Nineveh
<05210>_,

that great
<01419>

city
<05892>_,

and cry
<07121> (8798)

against it; for their wickedness
<07451>

is come up
<05927> (8804)

before
<06440>

me.

1:3

But Jonah
<03124>

rose up
<06965> (8799)

to flee
<01272> (8800)

unto Tarshish
<08659>

from the presence
<06440>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and went down
<03381> (8799)

to Joppa
<03305>_;

and he found
<04672> (8799)

a ship
<0591>

going
<0935> (8802)

to Tarshish
<08659>_:

so he paid
<05414> (8799)

the fare
<07939>

thereof, and went down
<03381> (8799)

into it, to go
<0935> (8800)

with them unto Tarshish
<08659>

from the presence
<06440>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

1:4

But the LORD
<03068>

sent out
<02904> (8689)

a great
<01419>

wind
<07307>

into the sea
<03220>_,

and there was a mighty
<01419>

tempest
<05591>

in the sea
<03220>_,

so that the ship
<0591>

was like
<02803> (8765)

to be broken
<07665> (8736)_.

{sent out: Heb. cast forth} {was like...: Heb. thought to be broken}

1:5

Then the mariners
<04419>

were afraid
<03372> (8799)_,

and cried
<02199> (8799)

every man
<0376>

unto his god
<0430>_,

and cast forth
<02904> (8686)

the wares
<03627>

that [were] in the ship
<0591>

into the sea
<03220>_,

to lighten
<07043> (8687)

[it] of them. But Jonah
<03124>

was gone down
<03381> (8804)

into the sides
<03411>

of the ship
<05600>_;

and he lay
<07901> (8799)_,

and was fast asleep
<07290> (8735)_.

1:6

So the shipmaster
<07227> <02259>

came
<07126> (8799)

to him, and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper
<07290> (8737)_?

arise
<06965> (8798)_,

call
<07121> (8798)

upon thy God
<0430>_,

if so be that God
<0430>

will think
<06245> (8691)

upon us, that we perish
<06> (8799)

not.

1:7

And they said
<0559> (8799)

every one
<0376>

to his fellow
<07453>_,

Come
<03212> (8798)_,

and let us cast
<05307> (8686)

lots
<01486>_,

that we may know
<03045> (8799)

for whose cause
<07945>

this evil
<07451>

[is] upon us. So they cast
<05307> (8686)

lots
<01486>_,

and the lot
<01486>

fell
<05307> (8799)

upon Jonah
<03124>_.

1:8

Then said
<0559> (8799)

they unto him, Tell
<05046> (8685)

us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil
<07451>

[is] upon us; What [is] thine occupation
<04399>_?

and whence
<0370>

comest
<0935> (8799)

thou? what [is] thy country
<0776>_?

and of what people
<05971>

[art] thou?

1:9

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, I [am] an Hebrew
<05680>_;

and I fear
<03373>

the LORD
<03068>_,

the God
<0430>

of heaven
<08064>_,

which hath made
<06213> (8804)

the sea
<03220>

and the dry
<03004>

[land]. {the LORD: or, JEHOVAH}

1:10

Then were the men
<0582>

exceedingly
<01419> <03374>

afraid
<03372> (8799)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Why hast thou done
<06213> (8804)

this? For the men
<0582>

knew
<03045> (8804)

that he fled
<01272> (8802)

from the presence
<06440>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

because he had told
<05046> (8689)

them. {exceedingly...: Heb. with great fear}

1:11

Then said
<0559> (8799)

they unto him, What shall we do
<06213> (8799)

unto thee, that the sea
<03220>

may be calm
<08367> (8799)

unto us? for the sea
<03220>

wrought
<01980> (8802)_,

and was tempestuous
<05590> (8802)_.

{may...: Heb. may be silent from us} {wrought...: or, grew more and more tempestuous: Heb. went}

1:12

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Take me up
<05375> (8798)_,

and cast me forth
<02904> (8685)

into the sea
<03220>_;

so shall the sea
<03220>

be calm
<08367> (8799)

unto you: for I know
<03045> (8802)

that for my sake
<07945>

this great
<01419>

tempest
<05591>

[is] upon you.

1:13

Nevertheless the men
<0582>

rowed hard
<02864> (8799)

to bring
<07725> (8687)

[it] to the land
<03004>_;

but they could
<03201> (8804)

not: for the sea
<03220>

wrought
<01980> (8802)_,

and was tempestuous
<05590> (8802)

against them. {rowed: Heb. digged} {wrought...: or, grew more and more tempestuous: Heb. went}

1:14

Wherefore they cried
<07121> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

We beseech thee
<0577>_,

O LORD
<03068>_,

we beseech thee, let us not perish
<06> (8799)

for this man's
<0376>

life
<05315>_,

and lay
<05414> (8799)

not upon us innocent
<05355> (8675) <05355>

blood
<01818>_:

for thou, O LORD
<03068>_,

hast done
<06213> (8804)

as it pleased
<02654> (8804)

thee.

1:15

So they took up
<05375> (8799)

Jonah
<03124>_,

and cast him forth
<02904> (8686)

into the sea
<03220>_:

and the sea
<03220>

ceased
<05975> (8799)

from her raging
<02197>_.

{ceased: Heb. stood}

1:16

Then the men
<0582>

feared
<03372> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>

exceedingly
<01419> <03374>_,

and offered
<02076> (8799)

a sacrifice
<02077>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

and made
<05087> (8799)

vows
<05088>_.

{offered...: Heb. sacrifice unto the LORD, and vowed vows}

1:17

Now the LORD
<03068>

had prepared
<04487> (8762)

a great
<01419>

fish
<01709>

to swallow up
<01104> (8800)

Jonah
<03124>_.

And Jonah
<03124>

was in the belly
<04578>

of the fish
<01709>

three
<07969>

days
<03117>

and three
<07969>

nights
<03915>_.

{belly: Heb. bowels}
