    1 But it displeased Jonah greatly, and he was very angry.

    2 And he prayed to the LORD, and said, I pray you, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was still in my country? Therefore I fled before to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and relent from doing harm.

    1 Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,

    2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness has come up before me.

    3 But Jonah rose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.

    4 But the LORD sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty storm in the sea, so that the ship was about to be broken.

    5 Then the mariners were afraid, and every man cried to his god, and they threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea, to lighten it. But Jonah had gone down into the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.

    6 So the shipmaster came to him, and said to him, What do you mean, O sleeper? arise, call upon your God, perhaps that God will consider us, that we do not perish.

    7 And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.
