servant Jonah the
son of
Amittai, the
prophet,
who was

Lord came to Jonah son of Amittai:

word of the
Lord came to
Jonah the
son of

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.
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
down into it, to
go with them to

But Jonah had gone below deck, where he lay down and fell into a deep sleep.
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.
(NIV)
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.

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.

Lord and went to Nineveh. Now Nineveh was a very large city; it took three days to go through it.

Jonah arose and
went to
Nineveh, according to the
word of the
Lord. Now

exceedingly great city,
three days’
journey in breadth.

Jonah began to
go into the
city,
going a day’s journey. And he
called out, “
Yet forty days, and
Nineveh shall be
overthrown!”
(NIV)

But it
displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he
was angry.
(NIV)
Jonah had gone out and sat down at a place east of the city. There he made himself a shelter, sat in its shade and waited to see what would happen to the city.
Jonah went out of the
city and
sat to the
east of the
city and
made a
booth for himself
there. He
sat under it in the
shade,
till he should
see what would become of the
city.
(NIV)
Then the
Lord God provided a leafy plant and made it grow up over Jonah to give shade for his head to ease his discomfort, and Jonah was very happy about the plant.
Now the
Lord God appointed a
plant and made it
come up over Jonah, that it might be a
shade over his
head, to
save him from his
discomfort. So
Jonah was
exceedingly glad because of the
plant.

sun rose,

scorching east wind,
and the
sun beat down on the
head of
Jonah so that he
was faint. And he
asked that he might
die and
said,

better for me
to die than to
live.”
(NIV)
But God said to Jonah, ‘Is it right for you to be angry about the plant?’
‘It is,’ he said. ‘And I’m so angry I wish I were dead.’
But
God said to
Jonah,
“Do you do
well to be
angry for the
plant?” And he
said, “Yes, I do
well to be
angry, angry enough to
die.”
