KJB-1611 YNA Chapter 1

0 1 Ionah sent to Nineueh, fleeth to Tarshish. 4 He is bewrayed by a tempest, 11 throwen into the sea, 17 and swallowed by a fish. I ¶ Now the word of the LORD came vnto [fn]Ionah the sonne of Amittai, saying, 2 Arise, goe to Nineueh that [fn]great citie, and cry against it: for their wickednes is come vp before me. 3 But Ionah rose vp to flee vnto Tarshish, from the presence of the LORD, and went downe to Ioppa, and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he payed the fare thereof, and went downe into it, to goe with them vnto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. 4 ¶ But the LORD [fn]sent out a great winde into the sea, and there was a mightie tempest in the sea, so that the ship [fn]was like to be broken. 5 Then the Mariners were afraid, and cried euery man vnto his god, and cast foorth the wares that were in the ship, into the sea, to lighten it of them: but Ionah was gone downe into the sides of the ship, and hee lay, and was fast asleepe. 6 So the shipmaster came to him, and said vnto him; What meanest thou, O sleeper? Arise, call vpon thy God, if so be that God wil thinke vpon vs, that we perish not. 7 And they said euery one to his fellow; Come, and let vs cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this euil is vpon vs. So they cast lots, and the lot fell vpon Ionah. 8 Then said they vnto him, Tel vs, we pray thee, for whose cause this euill is vpon vs: What is thine occupation? and whence commest thou? What is thy countrey? and of what people art thou? 9 And hee said vnto them, I am an Hebrew, and I feare the LORD the God of heauen, which hath made the sea, and the dry land. 10 Then were the men [fn]exceedingly afraid, and saide vnto him; Why hast thou done this? (for the men knew that he fled from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them.) 11 ¶ Then said they vnto him, What shall we doe vnto thee, that the sea [fn]may be calme vnto vs? (for the sea [fn]wrought and was tempestuous.) 12 And he said vnto them, Take me vp, and cast mee foorth into the sea; so shall the sea be calme vnto you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is vpon you. 13 Neuerthelesse the men [fn]rowed hard to bring it to the land, but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them. 14 Wherefore they cried vnto the LORD, and said, We beseech thee, O LORD, We beseech thee, let vs not perish for this mans life, and lay not vpon vs, innocent blood: for thou, O LORD, hast done as it pleased thee. 15 So they tooke vp Ionah, and cast him foorth into the sea, and the sea[fn] ceased from her raging. 16 Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and [fn]offered a sacrifice vnto the LORD, and made vowes. 17 ¶ Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow vp [fn]Ionah, and Ionah was in the [fn]belly of the fish three dayes, and three nights.
