Jonah’s Disobedience

The word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came^H1961 to Jonah^H3124 the son^H1121 of Amittai^H573, saying^H559,

Jon 1:2“Arise, go to Nineveh, the great city, and cry out against it, because their wickedness has come up before Me.”

Jon 1:3But 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.

Jon 1:4

However, the LORD^H3068 hurled^H2904 a great^H1419 wind^H7307 on the sea^H3220 and there was a great^H1419 storm^H5591 on the sea^H3220, so that the ship^H591 was^H2803 about^H2803 to^H2803 [fn]break^H7665 up^H7665.

Jon 1:5

Jon 1:5Then 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.

Jon 1:6

Jon 1:6So 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.”

Jon 1:7

And each^H376 man^H376 said^H559 to his mate^H7453, “Come^H1980, let’s cast^H5307 lots^H1486 so that we may [fn]find^H3045 out^H3045 on whose^H4310 account^H7945 this^H2088 catastrophe^H7451 has struck us.” So they cast^H5307 lots^H1486, and the lot^H1486 fell^H5307 on Jonah^H3124.

Jon 1:8

Jon 1:8Then they said to him, “Tell us, now! On whose account has this catastrophe struck us? What is your occupation, and where do you come from? What is your country, and from what people are you?”

Jon 1:9

Jon 1:9So he said to them, “I am a Hebrew, and I fear the LORD God of heaven who made the sea and the dry land.”

Jon 1:10

Then the men^H376 became^H3372 extremely^H3374^H1419 afraid^H3372, and they said^H559 to him, “[fn]How^H4100 could you do^H6213 this^H2088?” For the men^H376 knew^H3045 that he was fleeing^H1272 from the presence^H6440 of the LORD^H3068, because^H3588 he had told^H5046 them.

Jon 1:11

Jon 1:11So they said to him, “What should we do to you so that the sea will become calm [fn]for us?”—for the sea was becoming increasingly stormy.

Jon 1:12

Jon 1:12And he said to them, “Pick me up and hurl me into the sea. Then the sea will become calm [fn]for you, because I know that on account of me this great storm has come upon you.”

Jon 1:13

Jon 1:13However, the men [fn]rowed desperately to return to land, but they could not, because the sea was becoming even stormier against them.

Jon 1:14

Jon 1:14Then they cried out to the LORD and said, “We earnestly pray, O LORD, do not let us perish on account of this man’s life, and do not put innocent blood on us; for You, LORD, have done as You pleased.”

Jon 1:15

So they picked^H5375 up^H5375 Jonah^H3124 and hurled^H2904 him into the sea^H3220, and the sea^H3220 stopped^H5975 its raging^H2197.

Jon 1:16

Jon 1:16Then the men became extremely afraid of the LORD, and they offered a sacrifice to the LORD and made vows.

Jon 1:17

[fn]And the LORD^H3068 designated^H4487 a great^H1419 fish^H1709 to swallow^H1104 Jonah^H3124, and Jonah^H3124 was in the stomach^H4578 of the fish^H1709 for three^H7969 days^H3117 and three^H7969 nights^H3915.
