Jonah 1:1-6

1Now the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 toH413 JonahH3124 sonH1121 of AmittaiH573, sayingH559, 2“Get upH6965! GoH1980 toH413 the greatH1419 cityH5892 of NinevehH5210 and preachH7121 against itH5921, becauseH3588 its wickednessH7451 has come upH5927 before MeH6440.”

3Jonah, howeverH3124, got upH6965 to fleeH1272 to TarshishH8659, away from the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068. He went downH3381 to JoppaH3305 and foundH4672 a shipH591 boundH935 for TarshishH8659. So he paidH5414 the fareH7939 and went aboardH3381 to sailH935H5973 for TarshishH8659, away from the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068.

4Then the LORDH3068 hurledH2904 a greatH1419 windH7307 uponH413 the seaH3220, and such a violentH1419 stormH5591 aroseH1961 that the shipH591 was in dangerH2803 of breaking apartH7665. 5The sailorsH4419 were afraidH3372, and eachH376 cried outH2199 toH413 his own godH430. And they threwH2904 the ship’sH591 cargoH3627 intoH413 the seaH3220 to lightenH7043 the loadH5921. But JonahH3124 had gone downH3381 toH413 the lowest partH3411 of the vesselH5600, where he lay downH7901 and fell into a deep sleepH7290.

6The captainH7227H2259 approachedH7126 himH413 and saidH559, “HowH4100 can you sleepH7290? Get upH6965 and callH7121 uponH413 your GodH430. PerhapsH194 this GodH430 will considerH6245 us, so thatH3808 we may not perishH6.”
