Unchecked Copy BoxJon 1:3 - But Jonah got up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. So he went down to Joppa, found a ship that was going to Tarshish, paid the fare, and [fn]boarded it to go with them to Tarshish away from the presence of the LORD.

However, the LORD hurled a great wind on the sea and there was a great storm on the sea, so that the ship was about to [fn]break up.

Unchecked Copy BoxJon 1:5 - Then the sailors became afraid and every man cried out to his [fn]god, and they hurled the [fn]cargo which was in the ship into the sea to lighten it [fn]for them. But Jonah had gone below into the stern of the ship, had lain down, and fallen sound asleep.
Unchecked Copy BoxJon 1:6 - So the captain approached him and said, “How is it that you are sleeping? Get up, call on your god! Perhaps your god will be concerned about us so that we will not perish.”
