Jonah 1:1-6

1Now the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to JonahH3124 the sonH1121 of AmittaiH573, sayingH559,1 2AriseH6965, goH3212 to NinevehH5210, that greatH1419 cityH5892, and cryH7121 against it; for their wickednessH7451 is come upH5927 beforeH6440 me. 3But JonahH3124 aroseH6965 to fleeH1272 to TarshishH8659 from the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068, and went downH3381 to JoppaH3305; and he foundH4672 a shipH591 goingH935 to TarshishH8659: so he paidH5414 its fareH7939, and went downH3381 into it, to goH935 with them to TarshishH8659 from the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068.

4But the LORDH3068 sent outH2904 a greatH1419 windH7307 into the seaH3220, and there was a mightyH1419 tempestH5591 in the seaH3220, so that the shipH591 was in dangerH2803 of being brokenH7665.23 5Then the marinersH4419 were afraidH3372, and criedH2199 every manH376 to his godH430, and castH2904 the waresH3627 that were in the shipH591 into the seaH3220, to lightenH7043 it of them. But JonahH3124 had gone downH3381 into the sidesH3411 of the shipH5600; and he layH7901, and was fast asleepH7290. 6So the shipmasterH7227H2259 cameH7126 to him, and saidH559 to him, What meanest thou, O sleeperH7290? ariseH6965, callH7121 upon thy GodH430, it may be that GodH430 will thinkH6245 upon us, that we perishH6 not.
