1: And cameH1961 the wordH1697 of YahwehH3068 toH0413 JonahH3124 sonH1121 of Amittai,H0573 saying,H0559

2: Arise,H6965 goH1980 toH0413 Nineveh,H5210 the city,H5892 greatH1419 and cry outH7121 against itH5921 forH3588 has come upH5927 their wickednessH7451 before Me.H6440

3: But aroseH6965 JonahH3124 to fleeH1272 to TarshishH8659 from the presenceH6440 of Yahweh,H3068 and He went downH3381 to Joppa-H3305 and foundH4672 a shipH0591 goingH0935 to Tarshish,H8659 so he paidH5414 the fareH7939 and went downH3381 to goH0935 with themH5973 to TarshishH8659 from the presenceH6440 of Yahweh.H3068

4: But YahwehH3068 sent outH2904 a windH7307 greatH1419 onH0413 the sea,H3220 and there wasH1961 a tempestH5591 mightyH1419 on the sea,H3220 so that the shipH0591 was aboutH2803 to be broken up.H7665

5: And were afraid,H3372 the marinersH4419 and cried outH2199 every manH0376 toH0413 his god,H0430 and threwH2904 -H0853 the cargoH3627 that [was]H0834 in the shipH0591 intoH0413 the sea,H3220 to lighten the loadH7043 ofH5921 but JonahH3124 had gone downH3381 intoH0413 the lowest partsH3411 of the ship-H5600 and had lain down,H7901 and was fast asleep.H7290

6: So cameH7126 to himH0413 the captainH7227 the captainH2259 and saidH0559 whatH4100 sleeper?H7290 Arise,H6965 callH7121 onH0413 your God,H0430 perhapsH0194 will considerH6245 your GodH0430 so that notH3808 we may perish.H0006

7: And they saidH0559 manH0376 toH0413 one another,H7453 come,H1980 and let us castH5307 lots,H1486 that we may knowH3045 by whomH7945 troubleH7451 thisH2063 so they castH5307 lots,H1486 and fellH5307 the lotH1486 onH5921 Jonah.H3124

8: And they saidH0559 to himH0413 tellH5046 please,H4994 whichH0834 for whomH4310 troubleH7451 thisH2063 what [is]H4100 your occupation?H4399 and from whereH0370 do you comeH0935 what [is]H4100 your country?H0776 and from whereH0335 thisH2088 peopleH5971 [are] you?H0859

9: so he saidH0559 to themH0413 a Hebrew-H5680 I [am]H0595 andH0853 Yahweh,H3068 GodH0430 of the heaven,H8064 IH0589 fearH3373 whoH0834 madeH6213 -H0853 the seaH3220 andH0853 the dry [land].H3004

10: And were afraid,H3372 the menH0582 afraidH3373 exceedinglyH1419 and saidH0559 to himH0413 whyH4100 this?H2063 have you doneH6213 forH3588 knewH3045 the menH0582 thatH3588 from the presenceH6440 of YahwehH3069 heH1931 fledH1272 becauseH3588 he had toldH5046 them.H1992

11: And they saidH0559 to himH0413 whatH4100 shall we doH6213 that may be calmH8367 the seaH3220 for usH5921 forH3588 the seaH3220 was growing,H1980 and more tempestuous.H5590

12: And he saidH0559 to themH0413 Pick me up,H5375 and throw meH2904 intoH0413 the sea-H3220 then will become calmH8367 the seaH3220 for youH5921 forH3588 knowH3045 IH0589 thatH3588 because of meH7945 tempest [is]H5591 greatH1419 thisH2088 on.H5921

13: And nevertheless rowed hardH2864 the menH0582 to returnH7725 toH0413 land-H3004 but not-H3808 they couldH3201 forH3588 the seaH3220 continued to grow,H1980 and more tempestuousH5590 against them.H5921

14: Therefore they cried outH7121 toH0413 Yahweh,H3068 and said,H0559 we pray,H0577 Yahweh,H3068 notH0408 please,H4994 do let us perishH0006 for life,H5315 of manH0376 thisH2088 and notH0408 do chargeH5414 usH5921 with blood-H1818 innocentH5355 forH3588 You,H0859 Yahweh,H3068 asH0834 it pleased YouH2654 have done.H6213

15: So they picked upH5375 -H0853 Jonah,H3124 and threw himH2904 intoH0413 the sea,H3220 and ceasedH5975 the seaH3220 from its raging.H2197

16: And fearedH3372 the menH0376 afraidH3373 exceedingly,H1419 -H0853 YahwehH3068 and offeredH2076 a sacrificeH2077 to Yahweh,H3068 and tookH5087 vows.H5088

17: And had preparedH4487 YahwehH3068 a fishH1709 greatH1419 to swallowH1104 -H0853 Jonah.H3124 And wasH1961 JonahH3124 in the bellyH4578 of the fishH1709 threeH7969 daysH3117 and threeH7969 nights.H3915
