Jonah 1:1-6

1Now the wordH1697 of Jehovah came unto JonahH3124 the sonH1121 of AmittaiH573, sayingH559, 2AriseH6965, goH5927 to NinevehH5210, that greatH1419 cityH5892, and cry against it; for their wickednessH7451 is comeH5927 up before me. 3But JonahH3124 roseH6965 up to fleeH1272 unto TarshishH8659 from the presenceH6440 of Jehovah; and he wentH935 downH3381 to JoppaH3305, and foundH4672 a shipH591 goingH935 to TarshishH8659: so he paid the fare thereof, and wentH935 downH3381 into it, to goH935 with them unto TarshishH8659 from the presenceH6440 of Jehovah.

4But Jehovah sent out a greatH1419 windH7307 upon the seaH3220, and there wasH1961 a mighty tempestH5591 on the seaH3220, so that the shipH591 wasH1961 like to beH1961 brokenH7665. 5Then the mariners were afraidH3372, and criedH2199 every manH376 unto his godH430; and they cast forth the wares that were in the shipH591 into the seaH3220, to lightenH7043 it unto them. But JonahH3124 was goneH3381 downH3381 into the innermostH3411 partsH3411 of the shipH591; and he layH7901, and was fast asleep. 6So the shipmaster came to him, and saidH559 unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? ariseH6965, callH7121 upon thy GodH430, if so be that GodH430 will think upon us, that we perishH6 not.
