Text

1	Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
2	“Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it, for their evil has come up before me.”
3	But Jonah rose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. He went down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish. So he paid the fare and went on board, to go with them to Tarshish, away from the presence of the LORD.
4	But the LORD hurled a great wind upon the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea, so that the ship threatened to break up.
5	Then the mariners were afraid, and each cried out to his god. And they hurled the cargo that was in the ship into the sea to lighten it for them. But Jonah had gone down into the inner part of the ship and had lain down and was fast asleep.
6	So the captain came and said to him, “What do you mean, you sleeper? Arise, call out to your god! Perhaps the god will give a thought to us, that we may not perish.”
7	And they said to one another, “Come, let us cast lots, that we may know on whose account this evil has come upon us.” So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.
8	Then they said to him, “Tell us on whose account this evil has come upon us. What is your occupation? And where do you come from? What is your country? And of what people are you?”
9	And he said to them, “I am a Hebrew, and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land.”
10	Then the men were exceedingly afraid and said to him, “What is this that you have done!” For the men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them.
11	Then they said to him, “What shall we do to you, that the sea may quiet down for us?” For the sea grew more and more tempestuous.
12	He said to them, “Pick me up and hurl me into the sea; then the sea will quiet down for you, for I know it is because of me that this great tempest has come upon you.”
13	Nevertheless, the men rowed hard to get back to dry land, but they could not, for the sea grew more and more tempestuous against them.
14	Therefore they called out to the LORD, “O LORD, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not on us innocent blood, for you, O LORD, have done as it pleased you.”
15	So they picked up Jonah and hurled him into the sea, and the sea ceased from its raging.
16	Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and they offered a sacrifice to the LORD and made vows.
17	And the LORD appointed a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

NIV

1	The word of the LORD came to Jonah son of Amittai:
2	“Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.”
3	But Jonah ran away from the LORD and headed for Tarshish. He went down to Joppa, where he found a ship bound for that port. After paying the fare, he went aboard and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the LORD.
4	Then the LORD sent a great wind on the sea, and such a violent storm arose that the ship threatened to break up.
5	All the sailors were afraid and each cried out to his own god. And they threw the cargo into the sea to lighten the ship. But Jonah had gone below deck, where he lay down and fell into a deep sleep.
6	The captain went to him and said, “How can you sleep? Get up and call on your god! Maybe he will take notice of us, and we will not perish.”
7	Then the sailors said to each other, “Come, let us cast lots to find out who is responsible for this calamity.” They cast lots and the lot fell on Jonah.
8	So they asked him, “Tell us, who is responsible for making all this trouble for us? What do you do? Where do you come from? What is your country? From what people are you?”
9	He answered, “I am a Hebrew and I worship the LORD, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the land.”
10	This terrified them and they asked, “What have you done?” (They knew he was running away from the LORD, because he had already told them so.)
11	The sea was getting rougher and rougher. So they asked him, “What should we do to you to make the sea calm down for us?”
12	“Pick me up and throw me into the sea,” he replied, “and it will become calm. I know that it is my fault that this great storm has come upon you.”
13	Instead, the men did their best to row back to land. But they could not, for the sea grew even wilder than before.
14	Then they cried to the LORD, “O LORD, please do not let us die for taking this man's life. Do not hold us accountable for killing an innocent man, for you, O LORD, have done as you pleased.”
15	Then they took Jonah and threw him overboard, and the raging sea grew calm.
16	At this the men greatly feared the LORD, and they offered a sacrifice to the LORD and made vows to him.
17	But the LORD provided a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was inside the fish three days and three nights.

NLT

1	The LORD gave this message to Jonah son of Amittai:
2	“Get up and go to the great city of Nineveh. Announce my judgment against it because I have seen how wicked its people are.”
3	But Jonah got up and went in the opposite direction to get away from the LORD. He went down to the port of Joppa, where he found a ship leaving for Tarshish. He bought a ticket and went on board, hoping to escape from the LORD by sailing to Tarshish.
4	But the LORD hurled a powerful wind over the sea, causing a violent storm that threatened to break the ship apart.
5	Fearing for their lives, the desperate sailors shouted to their gods for help and threw the cargo overboard to lighten the ship.But all this time Jonah was sound asleep down in the hold.
6	So the captain went down after him. “How can you sleep at a time like this?” he shouted. “Get up and pray to your god! Maybe he will pay attention to us and spare our lives.”
7	Then the crew cast lots to see which of them had offended the gods and caused the terrible storm. When they did this, the lots identified Jonah as the culprit.
8	“Why has this awful storm come down on us?” they demanded. “Who are you? What is your line of work? What country are you from? What is your nationality?”
9	Jonah answered, “I am a Hebrew, and I worship the LORD, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the land.”
10	The sailors were terrified when they heard this, for he had already told them he was running away from the LORD. “Oh, why did you do it?” they groaned.
11	And since the storm was getting worse all the time, they asked him, “What should we do to you to stop this storm?”
12	“Throw me into the sea,” Jonah said, “and it will become calm again. I know that this terrible storm is all my fault.”
13	Instead, the sailors rowed even harder to get the ship to the land. But the stormy sea was too violent for them, and they couldn't make it.
14	Then they cried out to the LORD, Jonah's God. “O LORD,” they pleaded, “don't make us die for this man's sin. And don't hold us responsible for his death. O LORD, you have sent this storm upon him for your own good reasons.”
15	Then the sailors picked Jonah up and threw him into the raging sea, and the storm stopped at once!
16	The sailors were awestruck by the LORD's great power, and they offered him a sacrifice and vowed to serve him.
17	Now the LORD had arranged for a great fish to swallow Jonah. And Jonah was inside the fish for three days and three nights.

KJV

1	Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
2	Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.
3	But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.
4	But the LORD sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.
5	Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god, and cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it of them. But Jonah was gone down into the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.
6	So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not.
7	And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.
8	Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil is upon us; What is thine occupation? and whence comest thou? what is thy country? and of what people art thou?
9	And he said unto them, I am an Hebrew; and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry land.
10	Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto 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 unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous.
12	And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.
13	Nevertheless the men 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 unto the LORD, and said, We beseech thee, O LORD, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O LORD, hast done as it pleased thee.
15	So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging.
16	Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the LORD, and made vows.
17	Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
