But Jonah was gone down into the + sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep. + +32:001:006 So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest + thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God + will think upon us, that we perish not. + +32:001:007 And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast + lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. + So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah. + +32:001:008 Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose + cause this evil is upon us; What is thine occupation? and + whence comest thou? what is thy country? and of what people + art thou? + +32:001:009 And he said unto them, I am an Hebrew; and I fear the LORD, + the God of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry land. + +32:001:010 Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him. Why + hast thou done this? For the men knew that he fled from the + presence of the LORD, because he had told them. + +32:001:011 Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the + sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was + tempestuous. + +32:001:012 And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the + sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my + sake this great tempest is upon you. + +32:001:013 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but + they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous + against them. + +32:001:014 Wherefore they cried unto the LORD, and said, We beseech thee, + O LORD, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man's + life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O LORD, + hast done as it pleased thee. + +32:001:015 So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and + the sea ceased from her raging. + +32:001:016 Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a + sacrifice unto the LORD, and made vows. + +32:001:017 Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. + And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three + nights. + +32:002:001 Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's + belly, + +32:002:002 And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, + and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou + heardest my voice. + +32:002:003 For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the + seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and + thy waves passed over me. + +32:002:004 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again + toward thy holy temple. + +32:002:005 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth + closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head. + +32:002:006 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with + her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my + life from corruption, O LORD my God. + +32:002:007 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my + prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple. + +32:002:008 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy. + +32:002:009 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; + I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD. + +32:002:010 And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah + upon the dry land. + +32:003:001 And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, + saying, + +32:003:002 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it + the preaching that I bid thee. + +32:003:003 So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word + of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three + days' journey. + +32:003:004 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he + cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be + overthrown. + +32:003:005 So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, + and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the + least of them. + +32:003:006 For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his + throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with + sackcloth, and sat in ashes. + +32:003:007 And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through + Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let + neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let + them not feed, nor drink water: + +32:003:008 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry + mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil + way, and from the violence that is in their hands. + +32:003:009 Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from + his fierce anger, that we perish not? + +32:003:010 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; + and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would + do unto them; and he did it not. + +32:004:001 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry. + +32:004:002 And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, + was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? + Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou + art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great + kindness, and repentest thee of the evil. + +32:004:003 Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; + for it is better for me to die than to live. + +32:004:004 Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry? + +32:004:005 So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the + city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the + shadow, till he might see what would become of the city. + +32:004:006 And the LORD God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over + Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him + from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd. + +32:004:007 But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, + and it smote the gourd that it withered. + +32:004:008 And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared + a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, + that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is + better for me to die than to live. + +32:004:009 And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the + gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death. + +32:004:010 Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the + which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which + came up in a night, and perished in a night: + +32:004:011 And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are + more then sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern + between their right hand and their left hand; and also much + cattle? + + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, THE BIBLE, KING JAMES, BOOK 32 *** + +********** This file should be named 8032.txt or 8032.zip ********** + +This eBook was produced by David Widger +See above the credits to previous producers of this text. + +Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US +unless a copyright notice is included.
