    1The word of the Lord came to Jonah son of Amittai, saying,

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

    3But 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.

    4But 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.

    5The 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.

    6The 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."

    7And 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.

    8Then 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?"

    9And he answered, "I am a Hebrew, and I worship the Lord, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land."

    10Then the men were terrified, and they said to him, "What have you done?" For they knew he was fleeing from the presence of the Lord, because he had told them so.

    11Then they said to him, "What should we do to you so that the sea will calm down for us?" For the sea was growing more and more tempestuous.

    12He said to them, "Pick me up and throw me into the sea. Then the sea will calm down for you, for I know that it is because of me this great storm has come upon you."

    13Nevertheless, the men rowed hard to return to dry land, but they could not, for the sea grew increasingly stormy against them.

    14Then they cried out to the Lord, saying, "Please, Lord, do not let us perish for taking this man's life, and do not hold us accountable for innocent blood. For you, Lord, have done as you pleased."

    15They picked up Jonah and threw him into the sea, and the sea stopped its raging.
