1:1 Now
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
vnto
Ionah
the
sonne
of
Amittai,
saying,
1:2 Arise,
goe
to
Nineueh
that
great
citie,
and
cry
against
it:
for
their
wickednes
is
come
vp
before
me.
1:3 But
Ionah
rose
vp
to
flee
vnto
Tarshish,
from
the
presence
of
the
Lord,
and
went
downe
to
Ioppa,
and
he
found
a
ship
going
to
Tarshish:
so
he
payed
the
fare
thereof,
and
went
downe
into
it,
to
goe
with
them
vnto
Tarshish
from
the
presence
of
the
Lord.
1:4 But
the
Lord
sent
out
a
great
winde
into
the
sea,
and
there
was
a
mightie
tempest
in
the
sea,
so
that
the
ship
was
like
to
be
broken.
1:5 Then
the
Mariners
were
afraid,
and
cried
euery
man
vnto
his
god,
and
cast
foorth
the
wares
that
were
in
the
ship,
into
the
sea,
to
lighten
it
of
them:
but
Ionah
was
gone
downe
into
the
sides
of
the
ship,
and
hee
lay,
and
was
fast
asleepe.
1:6 So
the
shipmaster
came
to
him,
and
said
vnto
him;
What
meanest
thou,
O
sleeper
Arise,
call
vpon
thy
God,
if
so
be
that
God
wil
thinke
vpon
vs,
that
we
perish
not.
1:7 And
they
said
euery
one
to
his
fellow;
Come,
and
let
vs
cast
lots,
that
we
may
know
for
whose
cause
this
euil
is
vpon
vs.
So
they
cast
lots,
and
the
lot
fell
vpon
Ionah.
1:8 Then
said
they
vnto
him,
Tel
vs,
we
pray
thee,
for
whose
cause
this
euill
is
vpon
vs:
What
is
thine
occupation
and
whence
commest
thou
What
is
thy
countrey
and
of
what
people
art
thou
1:9 And
hee
said
vnto
them,
I
am
an
Hebrew,
and
I
feare
the
Lord
the
God
of
heauen,
which
hath
made
the
sea,
and
the
dry
land.
1:10 Then
were
the
men
exceedingly
afraid,
and
saide
vnto
him;
Why
hast
thou
done
this
(for
the
men
knew
that
he
fled
from
the
presence
of
the
Lord,
because
he
had
told
them.)
1:11 Then
said
they
vnto
him,
What
shall
we
doe
vnto
thee,
that
the
sea
may
be
calme
vnto
vs
(for
the
sea
wrought
and
was
tempestuous.)
1:12 And
he
said
vnto
them,
Take
me
vp,
and
cast
mee
foorth
into
the
sea;
so
shall
the
sea
be
calme
vnto
you:
for
I
know
that
for
my
sake
this
great
tempest
is
vpon
you.
1:13 Neuerthelesse
the
men
rowed
hard
to
bring
it
to
the
land,
but
they
could
not:
for
the
sea
wrought,
and
was
tempestuous
against
them.
1:14 Wherefore
they
cried
vnto
the
Lord,
and
said,
We
beseech
thee,
O
Lord,
We
beseech
thee,
let
vs
not
perish
for
this
mans
life,
and
lay
not
vpon
vs,
innocent
blood:
for
thou,
O
Lord,
hast
done
as
it
pleased
thee.
1:15 So
they
tooke
vp
Ionah,
and
cast
him
foorth
into
the
sea,
and
the
sea
ceased
from
her
raging.
1:16 Then
the
men
feared
the
Lord
exceedingly,
and
offered
a
sacrifice
vnto
the
Lord,
and
made
vowes.
1:17 Now
the
Lord
had
prepared
a
great
fish
to
swallow
vp
Ionah,
and
Ionah
was
in
the
belly
of
the
fish
three
dayes,
and
three
nights.
