Jonah 1:1-6
1The wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to 1JonahH3124 the sonH1121 of AmittaiH573, sayingH559, 2“AriseH6965, goH1980 to 2NinevehH5210, the greatH1419 cityH5892, and 3cryH7121 outH7121 againstH5921 it, becauseH3588 their 4wickednessH7463 has comeH5927 upH5927 beforeH6440 Me.” 3But JonahH3124 gotH6965 upH6965 to fleeH1272 to 5TarshishH8659 6from the presenceH6440 of the LordH3068. So he wentH3381 downH3381 to 7JoppaH3305, foundH4672 a shipH591 that was goingH935 to TarshishH8659, paidH5414 the fareH7939, and 8boardedH3381 it to goH935 with them to TarshishH8659 awayH4480 from the presenceH6440 of the LordH3068.
4However, the 9LordH3068 hurledH2904 a greatH1419 windH7307 on the seaH3220 and there was a greatH1419 stormH5591 on the seaH3220, so that the shipH591 wasH2803 aboutH2803 toH2803 10breakH7665 upH7665. 5Then the sailorsH4419 becameH3372 afraidH3372 and everyH376 manH376 criedH2199 outH2199 to 11his 12godH430, and they 13hurledH2904 the 14cargoH3627 whichH834 was in the shipH591 into the seaH3220 to lightenH7043 it 15for them. But JonahH3124 had goneH3381 belowH3381 into the sternH3411 of the shipH5600, had lainH7901 downH7901, and fallenH7290 soundH7290 asleepH7290. 6So the captainH7227H2259 approachedH7126 him and saidH559, “HowH4100 is it that you are sleepingH7290? GetH6965 upH6965, 16callH7121 on your godH430! PerhapsH194 your 17godH430 will be concernedH6245 about us so that we will not perishH6.”
