- 1Now the word of Yahweh came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
- 2"Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach against it, for their wickedness has come up before me."
- 3But 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.

- 4But Yahweh sent out a great wind on the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea, so that the ship was likely to break up.
- 5Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man to his god. They threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea, to lighten it. But Jonah had gone down into the innermost parts of the ship, and he was laying down, and was fast asleep.

- 11Then said they to him, "What shall we do to you, that the sea may be calm to us?" For the sea grew more and more tempestuous.
- 12He said to them, "Take 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 tempest is on you."
- 13Nevertheless the men rowed hard to get them back to the land; but they could not, for the sea grew more and more tempestuous against them.
- 14Therefore they cried to Yahweh, and said, "We beg you, Yahweh, we beg you, let us not perish for this man's life, and don't lay on us innocent blood; for you, Yahweh, have done as it pleased you."

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