    2 Arise, go to the great city of Nineveh, and proclaim against it, because their wickedness has come up before me.

    3 But Jonah rose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. He went down to Joppa, found a ship going to Tarshish, paid the fare, and boarded it to go with them to Tarshish, away from the Lord.

    4 But the Lord hurled a great wind upon the sea, and there was a mighty storm on the sea, so that the ship was about to break apart.

    5 The sailors were afraid, and each cried out to his own god. They threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea to lighten it for them. But Jonah had gone down to the inner part of the ship and had lain down and was fast asleep.

    6 The captain came to him and said, "What are you doing, sound asleep? Get up, call on your god! Perhaps your god will consider us, so that we will not perish."

    7 And they said to one another, "Come, let us cast lots to find out who is responsible for this calamity that has come upon us." So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.

    8 Then they said to him, "Please tell us! Who is responsible for causing this trouble for us? What is your occupation, and where do you come from? What is your country, and of what people are you?"
