Jonah, chapter 1.

00:02.800 --> 00:07.420
Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah
the son of Amittai, saying, Arise,

00:07.720 --> 00:12.100
go to Nineveh, that great city,
and cry against it, for their wickedness

00:12.100 --> 00:13.420
has come up before me.

00:13.900 --> 00:17.540
But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish
from the presence of the LORD,

00:17.880 --> 00:21.120
and went down to Joppa, and he found a
ship going to Tarshish.

00:21.440 --> 00:25.840
So he paid the fare thereof, and went down
into it, to go with them unto Tarshish

00:25.840 --> 00:27.220
from the presence of the LORD.

00:27.900 --> 00:32.340
But the LORD sent out a great wind into
the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in

00:32.340 --> 00:34.580
the sea, so that the ship was like to be
broken.

00:35.480 --> 00:38.980
Then the mariners were afraid,
and cried every man unto his God,

00:39.360 --> 00:43.740
and cast forth the wares that were in the
ship into the sea, to lighten it of them.

00:44.640 --> 00:48.860
But Jonah was gone down into the sides of
the ship, and he lay and was fast asleep.

00:49.940 --> 00:53.240
So the shipmaster came to him,
and said unto him, What meanest thou,

00:53.380 --> 00:54.020
O sleeper?

00:54.260 --> 00:56.040
Arise, call upon thy God.

00:56.240 --> 00:59.640
If so be that God will think upon us,
that we perish not.

00:59.880 --> 01:03.720
And they said every one to his fellow,
Come, and let us cast lots, that we may

01:03.720 --> 01:05.900
know for whose cause this evil is upon us.

01:05.980 --> 01:08.820
So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon
Jonah.

01:09.340 --> 01:13.520
Then said they unto him, Tell us,
we pray thee, for whose cause this evil is

01:13.520 --> 01:14.000
upon us.

01:14.500 --> 01:16.920
What is thine occupation, and whence
comest thou?

01:17.220 --> 01:19.540
What is thy country, and of what people
art thou?

01:19.540 --> 01:24.140
And he said unto them, I am in Hebron,
and I fear the Lord, the God of heaven,

01:24.220 --> 01:26.220
which hath made the sea and the dry land.

01:26.540 --> 01:30.400
Then were the men exceedingly afraid,
and said unto him, Why hast thou done

01:30.400 --> 01:30.740
this?

01:30.900 --> 01:34.520
For the men knew that he fled from the
presence of the Lord, because he had told

01:34.520 --> 01:34.700
them.

01:35.920 --> 01:39.800
Then said they unto him, What shall we do
unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto

01:39.800 --> 01:40.120
us?

01:40.340 --> 01:42.400
For the sea wrought, and was tempestuous.

01:42.880 --> 01:46.540
And he said unto them, Take me up,
and cast me forth into the sea.

01:47.400 --> 01:48.960
So shall the sea be calm unto you.

01:49.540 --> 01:52.080
For I know that for my sake this great
tempest is upon you.

01:52.440 --> 01:55.140
Nevertheless the men rode hard to bring it
to the land.

01:55.360 --> 01:59.020
But they could not, for the sea wrought,
and was tempestuous against them.

01:59.780 --> 02:03.300
Wherefore they cried unto the Lord,
and said, We beseech thee, O Lord,

02:03.620 --> 02:04.580
we beseech thee.

02:04.940 --> 02:08.860
Let us not perish for this man's life,
and lay not upon us innocent blood.

02:09.420 --> 02:12.440
For thou, O Lord, hast done as it pleased
thee.

02:12.440 --> 02:15.580
So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth
into the sea.

02:16.160 --> 02:17.920
And the sea ceased from her raging.

02:18.720 --> 02:22.500
Then the men feared the Lord exceedingly,
and offered a sacrifice unto the Lord,

02:22.580 --> 02:23.300
and made vows.

02:24.500 --> 02:27.800
Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to
swallow up Jonah.

02:28.240 --> 02:31.460
And Jonah was in the belly of the fish
three days and three nights.
