But Jonah was gone down into the<br> + sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.</p> + +<p>32:001:006 So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest<br> + thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God<br> + will think upon us, that we perish not.</p> + +<p>32:001:007 And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast<br> + lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us.<br> + So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.</p> + +<p>32:001:008 Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose<br> + cause this evil is upon us; What is thine occupation? and<br> + whence comest thou? what is thy country? and of what people<br> + art thou?</p> + +<p>32:001:009 And he said unto them, I am an Hebrew; and I fear the LORD,<br> + the God of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry land.</p> + +<p>32:001:010 Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him. Why<br> + hast thou done this? For the men knew that he fled from the<br> + presence of the LORD, because he had told them.</p> + +<p>32:001:011 Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the<br> + sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was<br> + tempestuous.</p> + +<p>32:001:012 And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the<br> + sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my<br> + sake this great tempest is upon you.</p> + +<p>32:001:013 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but<br> + they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous<br> + against them.</p> + +<p>32:001:014 Wherefore they cried unto the LORD, and said, We beseech thee,<br> + O LORD, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man's<br> + life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O LORD,<br> + hast done as it pleased thee.</p> + +<p>32:001:015 So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and<br> + the sea ceased from her raging.</p> + +<p>32:001:016 Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a<br> + sacrifice unto the LORD, and made vows.</p> + +<p>32:001:017 Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah.<br> + And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three<br> + nights.</p> + +<p>32:002:001 Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's<br> + belly,</p> + +<p>32:002:002 And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD,<br> + and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou<br> + heardest my voice.</p> + +<p>32:002:003 For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the<br> + seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and<br> + thy waves passed over me.</p> + +<p>32:002:004 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again<br> + toward thy holy temple.</p> + +<p>32:002:005 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth<br> + closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.</p> + +<p>32:002:006 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with<br> + her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my<br> + life from corruption, O LORD my God.</p> + +<p>32:002:007 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my<br> + prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.</p> + +<p>32:002:008 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.</p> + +<p>32:002:009 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving;<br> + I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.</p> + +<p>32:002:010 And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah<br> + upon the dry land.</p> + +<p>32:003:001 And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time,<br> + saying,</p> + +<p>32:003:002 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it<br> + the preaching that I bid thee.</p> + +<p>32:003:003 So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word<br> + of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three<br> + days' journey.</p> + +<p>32:003:004 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he<br> + cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be<br> + overthrown.</p> + +<p>32:003:005 So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast,<br> + and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the<br> + least of them.</p> + +<p>32:003:006 For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his<br> + throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with<br> + sackcloth, and sat in ashes.</p> + +<p>32:003:007 And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through<br> + Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let<br> + neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let<br> + them not feed, nor drink water:</p> + +<p>32:003:008 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry<br> + mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil<br> + way, and from the violence that is in their hands.</p> + +<p>32:003:009 Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from<br> + his fierce anger, that we perish not?</p> + +<p>32:003:010 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way;<br> + and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would<br> + do unto them; and he did it not.</p> + +<p>32:004:001 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.</p> + +<p>32:004:002 And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD,<br> + was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country?<br> + Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou<br> + art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great<br> + kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.</p> + +<p>32:004:003 Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me;<br> + for it is better for me to die than to live.</p> + +<p>32:004:004 Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry?</p> + +<p>32:004:005 So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the<br> + city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the<br> + shadow, till he might see what would become of the city.</p> + +<p>32:004:006 And the LORD God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over<br> + Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him<br> + from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd.</p> + +<p>32:004:007 But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day,<br> + and it smote the gourd that it withered.</p> + +<p>32:004:008 And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared<br> + a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah,<br> + that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is<br> + better for me to die than to live.</p> + +<p>32:004:009 And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the<br> + gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death.</p> + +<p>32:004:010 Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the<br> + which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which<br> + came up in a night, and perished in a night:</p> + +<p>32:004:011 And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are<br> + more then sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern<br> + between their right hand and their left hand; and also much<br> + cattle?</p> + + +<a href="book31.htm">Previous</a> <a href="contents.htm">Home</a> <a href="book33.htm">Next</a> + +</td></tr> +</table> +</center> + +</body> +</html> |
