To whom also he foretold his success in restoring all the +borders of Israel. He was of GETH OPHER in the tribe of ZABULON, and +consequently of GALILEE: which confutes that assertion of the Pharisees, +John 7.52, that no prophet ever rose out of GALILEE. He prophesied and +prefigured in his own person the death and resurrection of CHRIST: and +was the only one among the prophets that was sent to preach to the +Gentiles. + + +Jonas Chapter 1 + +Jonas being sent to preach in Ninive, fleeth away by sea: a tempest +riseth: of which he being found, by lot, to be the cause, is cast into +the sea, which thereupon is calmed. + +1:1. Now the word of the Lord came to Jonas, the son of Amathi, saying: + +1:2. Arise and go to Ninive, the great city, and preach in it: For the +wickedness thereof is come up before me. + +Nineve... The capital city of the Assyrian empire. + +1:3. And Jonas rose up to flee into Tharsis from the face of the Lord, +and he went down to Joppe, and found a ship going to Tharsis: and he +paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them to Tharsis +from the face of the Lord, + +Tharsis... Which some take to be Tharsus of Cilicia, others to be +Tartessus of Spain, others to be Carthage. + +1:4. But the Lord sent a great wind to the sea: and a great tempest was +raised in the sea, and the ship was in danger to be broken. + +1:5. And the mariners were afraid, and the men cried to their god: and +they cast forth the wares that were in the ship, into the sea, to +lighten it of them: and Jonas went down into the inner part of the ship, +and fell into a deep sleep. + +A deep sleep... This is a lively image of the insensibility of sinners, +fleeing from God, and threatened on every side with his judgments: and +yet sleeping as if they were secure. + +1:6. And the ship master came to him and said to him: Why art thou fast +asleep? rise up call upon thy God, if so be that God will think of us +that we may not perish. + +1:7. And they said every one to his fellow: Come and let us cast lots, +that we may know why this evil is upon us. And they cast lots, and the +lot fell upon Jonas. + +1:8. And they said to him: Tell us for what cause this evil is upon us, +what is thy business? of what country art thou? and whither goest thou? +or of what people art thou? + +1:9. And he said to them: I am a Hebrew, and I fear the Lord, and the +God of heaven, who made both the sea and the dry land. + +1:10. And the men were greatly afraid, and they said to him: Why hast +thou done this? (For the men knew that he fled from the face of the +Lord: because he had told them.) + +1:11. And they said to him: What shall we do with thee, that the sea may +be calm to us? for the sea flowed and swelled. + +1:12. And he said to them: take me up, and cast me into the sea, and the +sea shall be calm to you: for I know for my sake this great tempest is +upon you. + +1:13. And the men rowed hard to return the land, but they were not able: +because the sea tossed and swelled upon them. + +1:14. And they cried to the Lord, and said: We beseech thee, O Lord let +us not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: +for thou, oh Lord, hast done as it pleased thee. + +1:15. And they took Jonas, and cast him into the sea, and the sea ceased +from raging. + +1:16. And the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and sacrificed victims to +the Lord, and made vows. + +Jonas Chapter 2 + +Jonas is swallowed up by a great fish: he prayeth with confidence in +God; and the fish casteth him out on the dry land. + +2:1. Now the Lord prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonas: and Jonas +was in the belly of a fish for three days and three nights. + +2:2. And Jonas prayed to the Lord, his God, out of the belly of the +fish. + +2:3. And he said: I cried out of my affliction to the Lord, and he heard +me: I cried out of the belly of hell, and thou hast heard my voice. + +2:4. And thou hast cast me forth into the deep, in the heart of the sea, +and a flood hast compassed me: all thy billows, and thy waves have +passed over me. + +2:5. And I said: I am cast away out of the sight of thy eyes: but yet I +shall see the holy temple again. + +2:6. The waters compassed me about even to the soul: the deep hath +closed me round about, the sea hath covered my head. + +2:7. I went down to the lowest parts of the mountains: the bars of the +earth have shut me up for ever: and thou wilt bring up my life from +corruption, O Lord, my God. + +2:8. When my soul was in distress within me, I remembered the Lord: that +my prayer may come to thee, unto the holy temple. + +2:9. They that in vain observe vanities, forsake their own mercy. + +2:10. But I with the voice of praise will sacrifice to thee: I will pay +whatsoever I have vowed for my salvation to the Lord. + +2:11. And the Lord spoke to the fish: and it vomited out Jonas upon the +dry land. + +Spoke to the fish... God's speaking to the fish, was nothing else but +his will, which all things obey. + +Jonas Chapter 3 + +Jonas is sent again to preach in Ninive. Upon their fasting and +repentance, God recalleth the sentence by which they were to be +destroyed. + + +3:1. And the word of the Lord came to Jonas the second time saying: + +3:2. Arise, and go to Ninive, the great city: and preach in it the +preaching that I bid thee. + +3:3. And Jonas arose, and went to Ninive, according to the word of the +Lord: now Ninive was a great city of three days' journey. + +Of three days' journey... By the computation of some ancient historians, +Ninive was about fifty miles round: so that to go through all the chief +streets and public places was three days' journey. + +3:4. And Jonas began to enter into the city one day's journey: and he +cried and said: Yet forty days and Ninive shall be destroyed. + +3:5. And the men of Ninive believed in God: and they proclaimed a fast, +and put on sackcloth from the greatest to the least. + +3:6. And the word came to the king of Ninive: and he rose up out of his +throne, and cast away his robe from him, and was clothed in sackcloth, +and sat in ashes. + +3:7. And he caused it to be proclaimed and published in Ninive, from the +mouth of the king and of his princes, saying: Let neither men nor +beasts, oxen, nor sheep taste anything: let them not feed, nor drink +water. + +3:8. And let men and beasts be covered with sackcloth, and cry to the +Lord with all their strength, and let them turn every one from his evil +way, and from the iniquity that is in their hands. + +3:9. Who can tell if God will turn, and forgive: and will turn away from +his fierce anger, and we shall not perish? + +3:10. And God saw their works, that they were turned from their evil +way: and God had mercy with regard to the evil which he had said that he +would do to them, and he did it not. + +Jonas Chapter 4 + +4:1. And Jonas was exceedingly troubled, and was angry: + +Was exceedingly troubled, etc... His concern was lest he should pass for +a false prophet; or rather, lest God's word, by this occasion, might +come to be slighted and disbelieved. + +4:2. And he prayed to the Lord, and said: I beseech thee, O Lord, is not +this what I said, when I was yet in my own country? therefore I went +before to flee into Tharsis: for I know that thou art a gracious and +merciful God, patient, and of much compassion, and easy to forgive evil. + +4:3. And now, O Lord, I beseech thee take my life from me: for it is +better for me to die than to live. + +4:4. And the Lord said: Dost thou think thou hast reason to be angry? + +4:5. Then Jonas went out of the city, and sat toward the east side of +the city: and he made himself a booth there, and he sat under it in the +shadow, till he might see what would befall the city. + +4:6. And the Lord God prepared an ivy, and it came up over the head of +Jonas, to be a shadow over his head, and to cover him (for he was +fatigued): and Jonas was exceeding glad of the ivy. + +The Lord God prepared an ivy... Hederam. In the Hebrew it is Kikajon, +which some render a gourd: others a palmerist, or palma Christi. + +4:7. But God prepared a worm, when the morning arose on the following +day: and it struck the ivy and it withered. + +4:8. And when the sun was risen, the Lord commanded a hot and burning +wind: and the sun beat upon the head of Jonas, and he broiled with the +heat: and he desired for his soul that he might die, and said: It is +better for me to die than to live. + +4:9. And the Lord said to Jonas: Dost thou think thou hast reason to be +angry, for the ivy? And he said: I am angry with reason even unto death. + +4:10. And the Lord said: Thou art grieved for the ivy, for which thou +hast not laboured, nor made it to grow, which in one night came up, and +in one night perished. + +4:11. And shall I not spare Ninive, that great city, in which there are +more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons, that know not how to +distinguish between their right hand and their left, and many beasts? + + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, THE BIBLE, DOUAY-RHEIMS, BOOK 37 *** + +*********** This file should be named 8337.txt or 8337.zip *********** + +Produced by David Widger + +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.
