Now the LORD’s 1 word came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, Luk 11:32Luk 11:29-302Ki 14:25Mat 16:4Mat 12:39-41 “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach against it, for their wickedness has come up before me.” Gen 18:20-21Gen 10:11Isa 58:1Nam 1:1Jon 3:2Jon 4:11Zep 2:13-15Ezk 3:5-9
But Jonah rose up 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 its fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. Psa 139:7-12Jos 19:46Gen 4:162Th 1:9Act 9:36Act 9:431Ki 19:3Isa 23:1
But the LORD 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. Psa 107:23-31Mat 8:24-27Amo 4:13Exo 14:21Psa 135:7Exo 10:19Exo 15:10Num 11:31 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. Act 27:18-19Jer 2:281Ki 18:26Isa 45:20Jdg 16:19Jon 1:6Luk 22:45-461Sa 24:3 So the ship master came to him, and said to him, “What do you mean, sleeper? Arise, call on your God! 2 Maybe your God 3 will notice us, so that we won’t perish.” Jon 3:9Psa 107:28-292Sa 12:22Eph 5:14Mrk 4:37-41Psa 107:12-13Act 21:13Amo 5:15
They all said to each other, “Come! Let’s cast lots, that we may know who is responsible for this evil that is on us.” So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah. Pro 16:33Jos 7:13-18Num 32:231Sa 10:20-211Sa 14:41-42Act 13:19Jos 7:10Isa 41:6-7 Then they asked him, “Tell 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?” Gen 47:31Sa 30:13Jas 5:16Jos 7:191Sa 14:43
He said to them, “I am a Hebrew, and I fear the LORD, the God 4 of heaven, who has made the sea and the dry land.” Psa 146:5-6Neh 9:6Psa 136:26Psa 95:5-6Neh 1:4Gen 14:132Ki 17:252Ki 17:28
Then the men were exceedingly afraid, and said to him, “What have you done?” For the men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them. Jon 1:3Job 27:222Sa 24:3Dan 5:6-9Jhn 19:8Jos 7:25 Then they said to him, “What shall we do to you, that the sea may be calm to us?” For the sea grew more and more stormy. 1Sa 6:2-32Sa 21:1-6Mic 6:6-72Sa 24:11-13
He 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 storm is on you.” 2Sa 24:171Ch 21:17Jos 7:12Jhn 11:50Act 27:24Ecc 9:18Jos 7:20-21
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. Pro 21:30Job 34:29 Therefore they cried to the LORD, and said, “We beg you, LORD, we beg you, don’t let us die for this man’s life, and don’t lay on us innocent blood; for you, LORD, have done as it pleased you.” Psa 115:3Psa 135:6Deu 21:8Eph 1:11Psa 107:28Dan 4:34-35Jon 1:16Jon 1:5 So they took up Jonah and threw him into the sea; and the sea ceased its raging. Luk 8:24Psa 93:3-4Psa 107:29Psa 89:9Mat 8:26Psa 65:7Jos 7:24-262Sa 21:8-9 Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly; and they offered a sacrifice to the LORD and made vows.
