Now the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto JonahH3124 the sonH1121 of AmittaiH573, sayingH559, {Jonah: Gr. Jonas}
And from thence passeth on alongH5674 on the eastH4217+H6924 to GittahhepherH1662, to IttahkazinH6278, and goeth outH3318 to RemmonmethoarH7417 to NeahH5269; {methoar: or, which is drawn}
He restoredH7725 the coastH1366 of IsraelH3478 from the enteringH935 of HamathH2574 unto the seaH3220 of the plainH6160, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, which he spakeH1696 by the handH3027 of his servantH5650 JonahH3124, the sonH1121 of AmittaiH573, the prophetH5030, which was of GathhepherH1662.
So JonahH3124 aroseH6965, and wentH3212 unto NinevehH5210, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068. Now NinevehH5210 was an exceedingH430 greatH1419 cityH5892 of threeH7969 days'H3117 journeyH4109. {exceeding: Heb. of God}
ThenG5119 certainG5100 of the scribesG1122 andG2532 of the PhariseesG5330 answeredG611, sayingG3004, MasterG1320, we wouldG2309 seeG1492 a signG4592 fromG575 theeG4675.
ButG1161 he answeredG611 and saidG2036 unto themG846, An evilG4190 andG2532 adulterousG3428 generationG1074 seeketh afterG1934 a signG4592; andG2532 there shall noG3756 signG4592 be givenG1325 to itG846, butG1508 the signG4592 of the prophetG4396 JonasG2495:
ForG1063 asG5618 JonasG2495 wasG2258 threeG5140 daysG2250 andG2532 threeG5140 nightsG3571 inG1722 the whale'sG2785 bellyG2836; soG3779 shall the SonG5207 of manG444 beG2071 threeG5140 daysG2250 andG2532 threeG5140 nightsG3571 inG1722 the heartG2588 of the earthG1093.
The menG435 of NinevehG3536 shall riseG450 inG1722 judgmentG2920 withG3326 thisG5026 generationG1074, andG2532 shall condemnG2632 itG846: becauseG3754 they repentedG3340 atG1519 the preachingG2782 of JonasG2495; andG2532, beholdG2400, a greater thanG4119 JonasG2495 is hereG5602.
A wickedG4190 andG2532 adulterousG3428 generationG1074 seeketh afterG1934 a signG4592; andG2532 there shall noG3756 signG4592 be givenG1325 unto itG846, butG1508 the signG4592 of the prophetG4396 JonasG2495. AndG2532 he leftG2641 themG846, and departedG565.
AndG1161 when the peopleG3793 were gathered thick togetherG1865, he beganG756 to sayG3004, ThisG3778 isG2076 an evilG4190 generationG1074: they seekG1934 a signG4592; andG2532 there shallG1325 noG3756 signG4592 be givenG1325 itG846, butG1508 the signG4592 of JonasG2495 the prophetG4396.
ForG1063 asG2531 JonasG2495 wasG1096 a signG4592 unto the NinevitesG3536, soG3779 shallG2071 alsoG2532 the SonG5207 of manG444 beG2071 to thisG5026 generationG1074.
The queenG938 of the southG3558 shall rise upG1453 inG1722 the judgmentG2920 withG3326 the menG435 of thisG5026 generationG1074, andG2532 condemnG2632 themG846: forG3754 she cameG2064 fromG1537 the utmost partsG4009 of the earthG1093 to hearG191 the wisdomG4678 of SolomonG4672; andG2532, beholdG2400, a greater thanG4119 SolomonG4672 is hereG5602.
The menG435 of NineveG3535 shall rise upG450 inG1722 the judgmentG2920 withG3326 thisG5026 generationG1074, andG2532 shall condemnG2632 itG846: forG3754 they repentedG3340 atG1519 the preachingG2782 of JonasG2495; andG2532, beholdG2400, a greater thanG4119 JonasG2495 is hereG5602.
WhoG3739 will haveG2309 allG3956 menG444 to be savedG4982, andG2532 to comeG2064 untoG1519 the knowledgeG1922 of the truthG225.
The LordG2962 isG1019 notG3756 slackG1019 concerning his promiseG1860, asG5613 some menG5100 countG2233 slacknessG1022; butG235 is longsufferingG3114 toG1519 us-wardG2248, notG3361 willingG1014 that anyG5100 should perishG622, butG235 that allG3956 should comeG5562 toG1519 repentanceG3341.
But it displeasedH3415 JonahH3124 exceedinglyH1419+H7451, and he was very angryH2734.
And he prayedH6419 unto the LORDH3068, and saidH559, I prayH577 thee, O LORDH3068, was not this my sayingH1697, when I was yet in my countryH127? Therefore I fledH1272 beforeH6923 unto TarshishH8659: for I knewH3045 that thou art a graciousH2587 GodH410, and mercifulH7349, slowH750 to angerH639, and of greatH7227 kindnessH2617, and repentestH5162 thee of the evilH7451.
Therefore now, O LORDH3068, takeH3947, I beseech thee, my lifeH5315 from me; for it is betterH2896 for me to dieH4194 than to liveH2416.
And I will blessH1288 them that blessH1288 thee, and curseH779 him that cursethH7043 thee: and in thee shall all familiesH4940 of the earthH127 be blessedH1288.
Now the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto JonahH3124 the sonH1121 of AmittaiH573, sayingH559, {Jonah: Gr. Jonas}
AriseH6965, goH3212 to NinevehH5210, that greatH1419 cityH5892, and cryH7121 against it; for their wickednessH7451 is come upH5927 beforeH6440 me.
But JonahH3124 rose upH6965 to fleeH1272 unto TarshishH8659 from the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068, and went downH3381 to JoppaH3305; and he foundH4672 a shipH591 goingH935 to TarshishH8659: so he paidH5414 the fareH7939 thereof, and went downH3381 into it, to goH935 with them unto TarshishH8659 from the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068.
But the LORDH3068 sent outH2904 a greatH1419 windH7307 into the seaH3220, and there was a mightyH1419 tempestH5591 in the seaH3220, so that the shipH591 was likeH2803 to be brokenH7665. {sent out: Heb. cast forth} {was like…: Heb. thought to be broken}
Then the marinersH4419 were afraidH3372, and criedH2199 every manH376 unto his godH430, and cast forthH2904 the waresH3627 that were in the shipH591 into the seaH3220, to lightenH7043 it of them. But JonahH3124 was gone downH3381 into the sidesH3411 of the shipH5600; and he layH7901, and was fast asleepH7290.
So the shipmasterH7227+H2259 cameH7126 to him, and saidH559 unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeperH7290? ariseH6965, callH7121 upon thy GodH430, if so be that GodH430 will thinkH6245 upon us, that we perishH6 not.
And they saidH559 every oneH376 to his fellowH7453, ComeH3212, and let us castH5307 lotsH1486, that we may knowH3045 for whose causeH7945 this evilH7451 is upon us. So they castH5307 lotsH1486, and the lotH1486 fellH5307 upon JonahH3124.
Then saidH559 they unto him, TellH5046 us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evilH7451 is upon us; What is thine occupationH4399? and whenceH370 comestH935 thou? what is thy countryH776? and of what peopleH5971 art thou?
And he saidH559 unto them, I am an HebrewH5680; and I fearH3373 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of heavenH8064, which hath madeH6213 the seaH3220 and the dryH3004 land. {the LORD: or, JEHOVAH}
Then were the menH582 exceedinglyH1419+H3374 afraidH3372, and saidH559 unto him, Why hast thou doneH6213 this? For the menH582 knewH3045 that he fledH1272 from the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068, because he had toldH5046 them. {exceedingly…: Heb. with great fear}
Then saidH559 they unto him, What shall we doH6213 unto thee, that the seaH3220 may be calmH8367 unto us? for the seaH3220 wroughtH1980, and was tempestuousH5590. {may…: Heb. may be silent from us} {wrought…: or, grew more and more tempestuous: Heb. went}
And he saidH559 unto them, Take me upH5375, and cast me forthH2904 into the seaH3220; so shall the seaH3220 be calmH8367 unto you: for I knowH3045 that for my sakeH7945 this greatH1419 tempestH5591 is upon you.
Nevertheless the menH582 rowed hardH2864 to bringH7725 it to the landH3004; but they couldH3201 not: for the seaH3220 wroughtH1980, and was tempestuousH5590 against them. {rowed: Heb. digged} {wrought…: or, grew more and more tempestuous: Heb. went}
Wherefore they criedH7121 unto the LORDH3068, and saidH559, We beseech theeH577, O LORDH3068, we beseech thee, let us not perishH6 for this man'sH376 lifeH5315, and layH5414 not upon us innocentH5355 bloodH1818: for thou, O LORDH3068, hast doneH6213 as it pleasedH2654 thee.
So they took upH5375 JonahH3124, and cast him forthH2904 into the seaH3220: and the seaH3220 ceasedH5975 from her ragingH2197. {ceased: Heb. stood}
Then the menH582 fearedH3372 the LORDH3068 exceedinglyH1419+H3374, and offeredH2076 a sacrificeH2077 unto the LORDH3068, and madeH5087 vowsH5088. {offered…: Heb. sacrifice unto the LORD, and vowed vows}
Then JonahH3124 prayedH6419 unto the LORDH3068 his GodH430 out of the fish'sH1710 bellyH4578,
And saidH559, I criedH7121 by reason of mine afflictionH6869 unto the LORDH3068, and he heardH6030 me; out of the bellyH990 of hellH7585 criedH7768 I, and thou heardestH8085 my voiceH6963. {by…: or, out of mine affliction} {hell: or, the grave}
For thou hadst castH7993 me into the deepH4688, in the midstH3824 of the seasH3220; and the floodsH5104 compassedH5437 me about: all thy billowsH4867 and thy wavesH1530 passed overH5674 me. {midst: Heb. heart}
Then I saidH559, I am cast outH1644 of thy sightH5869; yet I will lookH5027 againH3254 toward thy holyH6944 templeH1964.
The watersH4325 compassed me aboutH661, even to the soulH5315: the depthH8415 closed me round aboutH5437, the weedsH5488 were wrapped aboutH2280 my headH7218.
I went downH3381 to the bottomsH7095 of the mountainsH2022; the earthH776 with her barsH1280 was about me for everH5769: yet hast thou brought upH5927 my lifeH2416 from corruptionH7845, O LORDH3068 my GodH430. {bottoms: Heb. cuttings off} {corruption: or, the pit}
When my soulH5315 faintedH5848 within me I rememberedH2142 the LORDH3068: and my prayerH8605 came inH935 unto thee, into thine holyH6944 templeH1964.
They that observeH8104 lyingH7723 vanitiesH1892 forsakeH5800 their own mercyH2617.
But I will sacrificeH2076 unto thee with the voiceH6963 of thanksgivingH8426; I will payH7999 that that I have vowedH5087. SalvationH3444 is of the LORDH3068.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH559 unto the fishH1709, and it vomited outH6958 JonahH3124 upon the dryH3004 land.
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto JonahH3124 the secondH8145 time, sayingH559,
AriseH6965, goH3212 unto NinevehH5210, that greatH1419 cityH5892, and preachH7121 unto it the preachingH7150 that I bidH1696 thee.
So JonahH3124 aroseH6965, and wentH3212 unto NinevehH5210, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068. Now NinevehH5210 was an exceedingH430 greatH1419 cityH5892 of threeH7969 days'H3117 journeyH4109. {exceeding: Heb. of God}
And JonahH3124 beganH2490 to enterH935 into the cityH5892 aH259 day'sH3117 journeyH4109, and he criedH7121, and saidH559, Yet fortyH705 daysH3117, and NinevehH5210 shall be overthrownH2015.
So the peopleH582 of NinevehH5210 believedH539 GodH430, and proclaimedH7121 a fastH6685, and putH3847 on sackclothH8242, from the greatestH1419 of them even to the leastH6996 of them.
For wordH1697 cameH5060 unto the kingH4428 of NinevehH5210, and he aroseH6965 from his throneH3678, and he laidH5674 his robeH155 from him, and coveredH3680 him with sackclothH8242, and satH3427 in ashesH665.
And he caused it to be proclaimedH2199 and publishedH559 through NinevehH5210 by the decreeH2940 of the kingH4428 and his noblesH1419, sayingH559, Let neither manH120 nor beastH929, herdH1241 nor flockH6629, tasteH2938 any thingH3972: let them not feedH7462, nor drinkH8354 waterH4325: {published: Heb. said} {nobles: Heb. great men}
But let manH120 and beastH929 be coveredH3680 with sackclothH8242, and cryH7121 mightilyH2394 unto GodH430: yea, let them turnH7725 every oneH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870, and from the violenceH2555 that is in their handsH3709.
Who can tellH3045 if GodH430 will turnH7725 and repentH5162, and turn awayH7725 from his fierceH2740 angerH639, that we perishH6 not?
And GodH430 sawH7200 their worksH4639, that they turnedH7725 from their evilH7451 wayH1870; and GodH430 repentedH5162 of the evilH7451, that he had saidH1696 that he would doH6213 unto them; and he didH6213 it not.
So the peopleH582 of NinevehH5210 believedH539 GodH430, and proclaimedH7121 a fastH6685, and putH3847 on sackclothH8242, from the greatestH1419 of them even to the leastH6996 of them.
For wordH1697 cameH5060 unto the kingH4428 of NinevehH5210, and he aroseH6965 from his throneH3678, and he laidH5674 his robeH155 from him, and coveredH3680 him with sackclothH8242, and satH3427 in ashesH665.
And he caused it to be proclaimedH2199 and publishedH559 through NinevehH5210 by the decreeH2940 of the kingH4428 and his noblesH1419, sayingH559, Let neither manH120 nor beastH929, herdH1241 nor flockH6629, tasteH2938 any thingH3972: let them not feedH7462, nor drinkH8354 waterH4325: {published: Heb. said} {nobles: Heb. great men}
But let manH120 and beastH929 be coveredH3680 with sackclothH8242, and cryH7121 mightilyH2394 unto GodH430: yea, let them turnH7725 every oneH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870, and from the violenceH2555 that is in their handsH3709.
Who can tellH3045 if GodH430 will turnH7725 and repentH5162, and turn awayH7725 from his fierceH2740 angerH639, that we perishH6 not?
And GodH430 sawH7200 their worksH4639, that they turnedH7725 from their evilH7451 wayH1870; and GodH430 repentedH5162 of the evilH7451, that he had saidH1696 that he would doH6213 unto them; and he didH6213 it not.
But it displeasedH3415 JonahH3124 exceedinglyH1419+H7451, and he was very angryH2734.
And he prayedH6419 unto the LORDH3068, and saidH559, I prayH577 thee, O LORDH3068, was not this my sayingH1697, when I was yet in my countryH127? Therefore I fledH1272 beforeH6923 unto TarshishH8659: for I knewH3045 that thou art a graciousH2587 GodH410, and mercifulH7349, slowH750 to angerH639, and of greatH7227 kindnessH2617, and repentestH5162 thee of the evilH7451.
Therefore now, O LORDH3068, takeH3947, I beseech thee, my lifeH5315 from me; for it is betterH2896 for me to dieH4194 than to liveH2416.
Then saidH559 the LORDH3068, Doest thou wellH3190 to be angryH2734? {Doest…: or, Art thou greatly angry?}
So JonahH3124 went outH3318 of the cityH5892, and satH3427 on the east sideH6924 of the cityH5892, and there madeH6213 him a boothH5521, and satH3427 under it in the shadowH6738, till he might seeH7200 what would become of the cityH5892.
And the LORDH3068 GodH430 preparedH4487 a gourdH7021, and made it to come upH5927 over JonahH3124, that it might be a shadowH6738 over his headH7218, to deliverH5337 him from his griefH7451. So JonahH3124 was exceedingH1419+H8057 gladH8055 of the gourdH7021. {gourd: or, palmcrist: Heb. Kikajon} {was…: Heb. rejoiced with great joy}
But GodH430 preparedH4487 a wormH8438 when the morningH7837 roseH5927 the next dayH4283, and it smoteH5221 the gourdH7021 that it witheredH3001.
And it came to pass, when the sunH8121 did ariseH2224, that GodH430 preparedH4487 a vehementH2759 eastH6921 windH7307; and the sunH8121 beatH5221 upon the headH7218 of JonahH3124, that he faintedH5968, and wishedH7592 in himselfH5315 to dieH4191, and saidH559, It is betterH2896 for me to dieH4194 than to liveH2416. {vehement: or, silent}
And GodH430 saidH559 to JonahH3124, Doest thou wellH3190 to be angryH2734 for the gourdH7021? And he saidH559, I do wellH3190 to be angryH2734, even unto deathH4194. {Doest…: or, Art thou greatly angry?} {I do well…: or, I am greatly angry}
Then saidH559 the LORDH3068, Thou hast had pityH2347 on the gourdH7021, for the which thou hast not labouredH5998, neither madest it growH1431; which came up in a nightH1121+H3915, and perishedH6 in a nightH1121+H3915: {had pity: or, spared} {came…: Heb. was the son of the night}
And should not I spareH2347 NinevehH5210, that greatH1419 cityH5892, wherein areH3426 moreH7235 than sixscoreH8147+H6240 thousandH7239 personsH120 that cannot discernH3045 between their right handH3225 and their left handH8040; and also muchH7227 cattleH929?
ForG1063 asG5618 JonasG2495 wasG2258 threeG5140 daysG2250 andG2532 threeG5140 nightsG3571 inG1722 the whale'sG2785 bellyG2836; soG3779 shall the SonG5207 of manG444 beG2071 threeG5140 daysG2250 andG2532 threeG5140 nightsG3571 inG1722 the heartG2588 of the earthG1093.
Then JonahH3124 prayedH6419 unto the LORDH3068 his GodH430 out of the fish'sH1710 bellyH4578,
And the LORDH3068 GodH430 preparedH4487 a gourdH7021, and made it to come upH5927 over JonahH3124, that it might be a shadowH6738 over his headH7218, to deliverH5337 him from his griefH7451. So JonahH3124 was exceedingH1419+H8057 gladH8055 of the gourdH7021. {gourd: or, palmcrist: Heb. Kikajon} {was…: Heb. rejoiced with great joy}
But GodH430 preparedH4487 a wormH8438 when the morningH7837 roseH5927 the next dayH4283, and it smoteH5221 the gourdH7021 that it witheredH3001.
And it came to pass, when the sunH8121 did ariseH2224, that GodH430 preparedH4487 a vehementH2759 eastH6921 windH7307; and the sunH8121 beatH5221 upon the headH7218 of JonahH3124, that he faintedH5968, and wishedH7592 in himselfH5315 to dieH4191, and saidH559, It is betterH2896 for me to dieH4194 than to liveH2416. {vehement: or, silent}
AriseH6965, goH3212 to NinevehH5210, that greatH1419 cityH5892, and cryH7121 against it; for their wickednessH7451 is come upH5927 beforeH6440 me.
AriseH6965, goH3212 to NinevehH5210, that greatH1419 cityH5892, and cryH7121 against it; for their wickednessH7451 is come upH5927 beforeH6440 me.
AriseH6965, goH3212 unto NinevehH5210, that greatH1419 cityH5892, and preachH7121 unto it the preachingH7150 that I bidH1696 thee.
But JonahH3124 rose upH6965 to fleeH1272 unto TarshishH8659 from the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068, and went downH3381 to JoppaH3305; and he foundH4672 a shipH591 goingH935 to TarshishH8659: so he paidH5414 the fareH7939 thereof, and went downH3381 into it, to goH935 with them unto TarshishH8659 from the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068.
Whither shall I goH3212 from thy spiritH7307? or whither shall I fleeH1272 from thy presenceH6440?
If I ascend upH5266 into heavenH8064, thou art there: if I make my bedH3331 in hellH7585, behold, thou art there.
If I takeH5375 the wingsH3671 of the morningH7837, and dwellH7931 in the uttermost partsH319 of the seaH3220;
Even there shall thy handH3027 leadH5148 me, and thy right handH3225 shall holdH270 me.
If I sayH559, Surely the darknessH2822 shall coverH7779 me; even the nightH3915 shall be lightH216 about meH1157.
