About Jonah 1

Called to preach against Nineveh, Jonah boards a ship for Tarshish to flee the presence of the LORD โ€” and the LORD hurls a great storm after him. Exposed by lots and confessing he fears the God who made the sea and the dry land, Jonah is thrown overboard at his own request, the sea goes still, and a great fish appointed by God swallows him for three days and three nights.

1 Now Yahwehโ€™s word came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,

2 โ€œArise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach against it, for their wickedness has come up before me.โ€

3 But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of Yahweh. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid its fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of Yahweh.

4 But Yahweh sent out a great wind on the sea, and there was a mighty storm on the sea, so that the ship was likely to break up.

5 Then the mariners were afraid, and every man cried to his god. They threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea to lighten the ship. But Jonah had gone down into the innermost parts of the ship, and he was laying down, and was fast asleep.

6 So the ship master came to him, and said to him, โ€œWhat do you mean, sleeper? Arise, call on your God! Maybe your God will notice us, so that we wonโ€™t perish.โ€

7 They all said to each other, โ€œCome, let us cast lots, that we may know who is responsible for this evil that is on us.โ€ So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.

8 Then they asked him, โ€œTell us, please, for whose cause this evil is on us. What is your occupation? Where do you come from? What is your country? Of what people are you?โ€

9 He said to them, โ€œI am a Hebrew, and I fear Yahweh, the God of heaven, who has made the sea and the dry land.โ€

10 Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said to him, โ€œWhat is this that you have done?โ€ For the men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of Yahweh, because he had told them.

11 Then they said to him, โ€œWhat shall we do to you, that the sea may be calm to us?โ€ For the sea grew more and more stormy.

12 He said to them, โ€œTake me up, and throw me into the sea. Then the sea will be calm for you; for I know that because of me this great storm is on you.โ€

13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to get them back to the land; but they could not, for the sea grew more and more stormy against them.

14 Therefore they cried to Yahweh, and said, โ€œWe beg you, Yahweh, we beg you, donโ€™t let us die for this manโ€™s life, and donโ€™t lay on us innocent blood; for you, Yahweh, have done as it pleased you.โ€

15 So they took up Jonah, and threw him into the sea; and the sea ceased its raging.

16 Then the men feared Yahweh exceedingly; and they offered a sacrifice to Yahweh, and made vows.

17 Yahweh prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
