1:1 And saviours[03467][8688] shall come up[05927][8804] on mount[02022] Zion[06726] to judge[08199][8800] the mount[02022] of Esau[06215]; and the kingdom[04410] shall be the LORD'S[03068].
1:2 Now the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto Jonah[03124] the son[01121] of Amittai[0573], saying[0559][8800], Jonah: Gr. Jonas
1:3 Arise[06965][8798], go[03212][8798] to Nineveh[05210], that great[01419] city[05892], and cry[07121][8798] against it; for their wickedness[07451] is come up[05927][8804] before[06440] me.
1:4 But Jonah[03124] rose up[06965][8799] to flee[01272][8800] unto Tarshish[08659] from the presence[06440] of the LORD[03068], and went down[03381][8799] to Joppa[03305]; and he found[04672][8799] a ship[0591] going[0935][8802] to Tarshish[08659]: so he paid[05414][8799] the fare[07939] thereof, and went down[03381][8799] into it, to go[0935][8800] with them unto Tarshish[08659] from the presence[06440] of the LORD[03068].
1:5 But the LORD[03068] sent out[02904][8689] a great[01419] wind[07307] into the sea[03220], and there was a mighty[01419] tempest[05591] in the sea[03220], so that the ship[0591] was like[02803][8765] to be broken[07665][8736]. sent out: Heb. cast forth was like...: Heb. thought to be broken
1:6 Then the mariners[04419] were afraid[03372][8799], and cried[02199][8799] every man[0376] unto his god[0430], and cast forth[02904][8686] the wares[03627] that were in the ship[0591] into the sea[03220], to lighten[07043][8687] it of them. But Jonah[03124] was gone down[03381][8804] into the sides[03411] of the ship[05600]; and he lay[07901][8799], and was fast asleep[07290][8735].
1:7 So the shipmaster[07227][02259] came[07126][8799] to him, and said[0559][8799] unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper[07290][8737]? arise[06965][8798], call[07121][8798] upon thy God[0430], if so be that God[0430] will think[06245][8691] upon us, that we perish[06][8799] not.
1:8 And they said[0559][8799] every one[0376] to his fellow[07453], Come[03212][8798], and let us cast[05307][8686] lots[01486], that we may know[03045][8799] for whose cause[07945] this evil[07451] is upon us. So they cast[05307][8686] lots[01486], and the lot[01486] fell[05307][8799] upon Jonah[03124].
1:9 Then said[0559][8799] they unto him, Tell[05046][8685] us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil[07451] is upon us; What is thine occupation[04399]? and whence[0370] comest[0935][8799] thou? what is  thy country[0776]? and of what people[05971] art thou?
1:10 And he said[0559][8799] unto them, I am an Hebrew[05680]; and I fear[03373] the LORD[03068], the God[0430] of heaven[08064], which hath made[06213][8804] the sea[03220] and the dry[03004] land . the LORD: or, JEHOVAH
1:11 Then were the men[0582] exceedingly[01419][03374] afraid[03372][8799], and said[0559][8799] unto him, Why hast thou done[06213][8804] this? For the men[0582] knew[03045][8804] that he fled[01272][8802] from the presence[06440] of the LORD[03068], because he had told[05046][8689] them. exceedingly...: Heb. with great fear
1:12 Then said[0559][8799] they unto him, What shall we do[06213][8799] unto thee, that the sea[03220] may be calm[08367][8799] unto us? for the sea[03220] wrought[01980][8802], and was tempestuous[05590][8802]. may...: Heb. may be silent from us wrought...: or, grew more and more tempestuous: Heb. went
1:13 And he said[0559][8799] unto them, Take me up[05375][8798], and cast me forth[02904][8685] into the sea[03220]; so shall the sea[03220] be calm[08367][8799] unto you: for I know[03045][8802] that for my sake[07945] this great[01419] tempest[05591] is upon you.
1:14 Nevertheless the men[0582] rowed hard[02864][8799] to bring[07725][8687] it to the land[03004]; but they could[03201][8804] not: for the sea[03220] wrought[01980][8802], and was tempestuous[05590][8802] against them. rowed: Heb. digged wrought...: or, grew more and more tempestuous: Heb. went
1:15 Wherefore they cried[07121][8799] unto the LORD[03068], and said[0559][8799], We beseech thee[0577], O LORD[03068], we beseech thee, let us not perish[06][8799] for this man's[0376] life[05315], and lay[05414][8799] not upon us innocent[05355][8675][05355] blood[01818]: for thou, O LORD[03068], hast done[06213][8804] as it pleased[02654][8804] thee.
1:16 So they took up[05375][8799] Jonah[03124], and cast him forth[02904][8686] into the sea[03220]: and the sea[03220] ceased[05975][8799] from her raging[02197]. ceased: Heb. stood
2:1 Then the men[0582] feared[03372][8799] the LORD[03068] exceedingly[01419][03374], and offered[02076][8799] a sacrifice[02077] unto the LORD[03068], and made[05087][8799] vows[05088]. offered...: Heb. sacrifice unto the LORD, and vowed vows
2:2 Now the LORD[03068] had prepared[04487][8762] a great[01419] fish[01709] to swallow up[01104][8800] Jonah[03124]. And Jonah[03124] was in the belly[04578] of the fish[01709] three[07969] days[03117] and three[07969] nights[03915]. belly: Heb. bowels
2:3 Then Jonah[03124] prayed[06419][8691] unto the LORD[03068] his God[0430] out of the fish's[01710] belly[04578],
2:4 And said[0559][8799], I cried[07121][8804] by reason of mine affliction[06869] unto the LORD[03068], and he heard[06030][8799] me; out of the belly[0990] of hell[07585] cried[07768][8765] I, and thou heardest[08085][8804] my voice[06963]. by...: or, out of mine affliction hell: or, the grave
2:5 For thou hadst cast[07993][8686] me into the deep[04688], in the midst[03824] of the seas[03220]; and the floods[05104] compassed[05437][8779] me about: all thy billows[04867] and thy waves[01530] passed over[05674][8804] me. midst: Heb. heart
2:6 Then I said[0559][8804], I am cast out[01644][8738] of thy sight[05869]; yet I will look[05027][8687] again[03254][8686] toward thy holy[06944] temple[01964].
2:7 The waters[04325] compassed me about[0661][8804], even to the soul[05315]: the depth[08415] closed me round about[05437][8779], the weeds[05488] were wrapped about[02280][8803] my head[07218].
2:8 I went down[03381][8804] to the bottoms[07095] of the mountains[02022]; the earth[0776] with her bars[01280] was about me for ever[05769]: yet hast thou brought up[05927][8686] my life[02416] from corruption[07845], O LORD[03068] my God[0430]. bottoms: Heb. cuttings off corruption: or, the pit
2:9 When my soul[05315] fainted[05848][8692] within me I remembered[02142][8804] the LORD[03068]: and my prayer[08605] came in[0935][8799] unto thee, into thine holy[06944] temple[01964].
2:10 They that observe[08104][8764] lying[07723] vanities[01892] forsake[05800][8799] their own mercy[02617].
2:11 But I will sacrifice[02076][8799] unto thee with the voice[06963] of thanksgiving[08426]; I will pay[07999][8762] that that I have vowed[05087][8804]. Salvation[03444] is of the LORD[03068].
2:12 And the LORD[03068] spake[0559][8799] unto the fish[01709], and it vomited out[06958][8686] Jonah[03124] upon the dry[03004] land .
2:13 And the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto Jonah[03124] the second[08145] time, saying[0559][8800],
3:1 Arise[06965][8798], go[03212][8798] unto Nineveh[05210], that great[01419] city[05892], and preach[07121][8798] unto it the preaching[07150] that I bid[01696][8802] thee.
3:2 So Jonah[03124] arose[06965][8799], and went[03212][8799] unto Nineveh[05210], according to the word[01697] of the LORD[03068]. Now Nineveh[05210] was an exceeding[0430] great[01419] city[05892] of three[07969] days[03117]' journey[04109]. exceeding: Heb. of God
3:3 And Jonah[03124] began[02490][8686] to enter[0935][8800] into the city[05892] a[0259] day's[03117] journey[04109], and he cried[07121][8799], and said[0559][8799], Yet forty[0705] days[03117], and Nineveh[05210] shall be overthrown[02015][8737].
3:4 So the people[0582] of Nineveh[05210] believed[0539][8686] God[0430], and proclaimed[07121][8799] a fast[06685], and put[03847][8799] on sackcloth[08242], from the greatest[01419] of them even to the least[06996] of them.
3:5 For word[01697] came[05060][8799] unto the king[04428] of Nineveh[05210], and he arose[06965][8799] from his throne[03678], and he laid[05674][8686] his robe[0155] from him, and covered[03680][8762] him with sackcloth[08242], and sat[03427][8799] in ashes[0665].
3:6 And he caused it to be proclaimed[02199][8686] and published[0559][8799] through Nineveh[05210] by the decree[02940] of the king[04428] and his nobles[01419], saying[0559][8800], Let neither man[0120] nor beast[0929], herd[01241] nor flock[06629], taste[02938][8799] any thing[03972]: let them not feed[07462][8799], nor drink[08354][8799] water[04325]: published: Heb. said nobles: Heb. great men
3:7 But let man[0120] and beast[0929] be covered[03680][8691] with sackcloth[08242], and cry[07121][8799] mightily[02394] unto God[0430]: yea, let them turn[07725][8799] every one[0376] from his evil[07451] way[01870], and from the violence[02555] that is in their hands[03709].
3:8 Who can tell[03045][8802] if God[0430] will turn[07725][8799] and repent[05162][8738], and turn away[07725][8804] from his fierce[02740] anger[0639], that we perish[06][8799] not?
3:9 And God[0430] saw[07200][8799] their works[04639], that they turned[07725][8804] from their evil[07451] way[01870]; and God[0430] repented[05162][8735] of the evil[07451], that he had said[01696][8765] that he would do[06213][8800] unto them; and he did[06213][8804] it not.
3:10 But it displeased[03415][8799] Jonah[03124] exceedingly[01419][07451], and he was very angry[02734][8799].
3:11 And he prayed[06419][8691] unto the LORD[03068], and said[0559][8799], I pray[0577] thee, O LORD[03068], was not this my saying[01697], when I was yet in my country[0127]? Therefore I fled[01272][8800] before[06923][8765] unto Tarshish[08659]: for I knew[03045][8804] that thou art a gracious[02587] God[0410], and merciful[07349], slow[0750] to anger[0639], and of great[07227] kindness[02617], and repentest[05162][8737] thee of the evil[07451].
3:12 Therefore now, O LORD[03068], take[03947][8798], I beseech thee, my life[05315] from me; for it is better[02896] for me to die[04194] than to live[02416].
4:1 Then said[0559][8799] the LORD[03068], Doest thou well[03190][8687] to be angry[02734][8804]? Doest...: or, Art thou greatly angry?
4:2 So Jonah[03124] went out[03318][8799] of the city[05892], and sat[03427][8799] on the east side[06924] of the city[05892], and there made[06213][8799] him a booth[05521], and sat[03427][8799] under it in the shadow[06738], till he might see[07200][8799] what would become of the city[05892].
4:3 And the LORD[03068] God[0430] prepared[04487][8762] a gourd[07021], and made it to come up[05927][8799] over Jonah[03124], that it might be a shadow[06738] over his head[07218], to deliver[05337][8687] him from his grief[07451]. So Jonah[03124] was exceeding[01419][08057] glad[08055][8799] of the gourd[07021]. gourd: or, palmcrist: Heb. Kikajon was...: Heb. rejoiced with great joy
4:4 But God[0430] prepared[04487][8762] a worm[08438] when the morning[07837] rose[05927][8800] the next day[04283], and it smote[05221][8686] the gourd[07021] that it withered[03001][8799].
4:5 And it came to pass, when the sun[08121] did arise[02224][8800], that God[0430] prepared[04487][8762] a vehement[02759] east[06921] wind[07307]; and the sun[08121] beat[05221][8686] upon the head[07218] of Jonah[03124], that he fainted[05968][8691], and wished[07592][8799] in himself[05315] to die[04191][8800], and said[0559][8799], It is better[02896] for me to die[04194] than to live[02416]. vehement: or, silent
4:6 And God[0430] said[0559][8799] to Jonah[03124], Doest thou well[03190][8687] to be angry[02734][8804] for the gourd[07021]? And he said[0559][8799], I do well[03190][8687] to be angry[02734][8804], even unto death[04194]. Doest...: or, Art thou greatly angry? I do well...: or, I am greatly angry
4:7 Then said[0559][8799] the LORD[03068], Thou hast had pity[02347][8804] on the gourd[07021], for the which thou hast not laboured[05998][8804], neither madest it grow[01431][8765]; which came up in a night[01121][03915], and perished[06][8804] in a night[01121][03915]: had pity: or, spared came...: Heb. was the son of the night
4:8 And should not I spare[02347][8799] Nineveh[05210], that great[01419] city[05892], wherein are[03426] more[07235][8687] than sixscore[08147][06240] thousand[07239] persons[0120] that cannot discern[03045][8804] between their right hand[03225] and their left hand[08040]; and also much[07227] cattle[0929]?

4:10 Hear[08085][8798], all ye people[05971]; hearken[07181][8685], O earth[0776], and all that therein[04393] is: and let the Lord[0136] GOD[03069] be witness[05707] against you, the Lord[0136] from his holy[06944] temple[01964]. all ye...: Heb. ye people, all of them all that...: Heb. the fulness thereof

4:12 And the mountains[02022] shall be molten[04549][8738] under him, and the valleys[06010] shall be cleft[01234][8691], as wax[01749] before[06440] the fire[0784], and as the waters[04325] that are poured[05064][8716] down a steep place[04174]. a steep...: Heb. a descent
4:13 For the transgression[06588] of Jacob[03290] is all this, and for the sins[02403] of the house[01004] of Israel[03478]. What is the transgression[06588] of Jacob[03290]? is it not Samaria[08111]? and what are the high places[01116] of Judah[03063]? are they not Jerusalem[03389]?
5:1 Therefore I will make[07760][8804] Samaria[08111] as an heap[05856] of the field[07704], and as plantings[04302] of a vineyard[03754]: and I will pour down[05064][8689] the stones[068] thereof into the valley[01516], and I will discover[01540][8762] the foundations[03247] thereof.
5:2 And all the graven images[06456] thereof shall be beaten to pieces[03807][8714], and all the hires[0868] thereof shall be burned[08313][8735] with the fire[0784], and all the idols[06091] thereof will I lay[07760][8799] desolate[08077]: for she gathered[06908][8765] it of the hire[0868] of an harlot[02181][8802], and they shall return[07725][8799] to the hire[0868] of an harlot[02181][8802].
5:3 Therefore I will wail[05594][8799] and howl[03213][8686], I will go[03212][8799] stripped[07758][8675][07758] and naked[06174]: I will make[06213][8799] a wailing[04553] like the dragons[08577], and mourning[060] as the owls[01323][03284]. owls: Heb. daughters of the owl

5:6 Pass ye away[05674][8798], thou inhabitant[03427][8802] of Saphir[08208], having thy shame[01322] naked[06181]: the inhabitant[03427][8802] of Zaanan[06630] came not forth[03318][8804] in the mourning[04553] of Bethezel[01018]; he shall receive[03947][8799] of you his standing[05979]. thou...: or, thou that dwellest fairly inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress Zaanan: or, The country of flocks Bethezel: or, A place near
