Jon 2:4 And I said, I have been sent away from before your eyes; how may I ever again see your holy Temple?
Jon 2:5 The waters were circling round me, even to the neck; the deep was about me; the sea-grass was twisted round my head.
Jon 2:6 I went down to the bases of the mountains; as for the earth, her walls were about me for ever: but you have taken up my life from the underworld, O Lord my God.
Jon 2:7 When my soul in me was overcome, I kept the memory of the Lord: and my prayer came in to you, into your holy Temple.
Jon 2:8 The worshippers of false gods have given up their only hope.
Jon 2:9 But I will make an offering to you with the voice of praise; I will give effect to my oaths. Salvation is the Lord's.
Jon 2:10 And at the Lord's order, the fish sent Jonah out of its mouth on to the dry land.
Jon 3:1 And the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time, saying,
Jon 3:2 Up! go to Nineveh, that great town, and give it the word which I have given you.
Jon 3:3 So Jonah got up and went to Nineveh as the Lord had said. Now Nineveh was a very great town, three days' journey from end to end.
Jon 3:4 And Jonah first of all went a day's journey into the town, and crying out said, In forty days destruction will overtake Nineveh.
Jon 3:5 And the people of Nineveh had belief in God; and a time was fixed for going without food, and they put on haircloth, from the greatest to the least.
Jon 3:6 And the word came to the king of Nineveh, and he got up from his seat of authority, and took off his robe, and covering himself with haircloth, took his seat in the dust.
Jon 3:7 And he had it given out in Nineveh, By the order of the king and his great men, no man or beast, herd or flock, is to have a taste of anything; let them have no food or water:
Jon 3:8 And let man and beast be covered with haircloth, and let them make strong prayers to God: and let everyone be turned from his evil way and the violent acts of their hands.
Jon 3:9 Who may say that God will not be turned, changing his purpose and turning away from his burning wrath, so that destruction may not overtake us?
Jon 3:10 And God saw what they did, how they were turned from their evil way; and God's purpose was changed as to the evil which he said he would do to them, and he did it not.
Jon 4:1 But this seemed very wrong to Jonah, and he was angry.
Jon 4:2 And he made prayer to the Lord and said, O Lord, is this not what I said when I was still in my country? This is why I took care to go in flight to Tarshish: for I was certain that you were a loving God, full of pity, slow to be angry and great in mercy, and ready to be turned from your purpose of evil.
Jon 4:3 So now, O Lord, give ear to my prayer and take my life from me; for death is better for me than life.
Jon 4:4 And the Lord said, Have you any right to be angry?
Jon 4:5 Then Jonah went out of the town, and took his seat on the east side of the town and made himself a roof of branches and took his seat under its shade till he saw what would become of the town.
Jon 4:6 And the Lord God made a vine come up over Jonah to give him shade over his head. And Jonah was very glad because of the vine.
Jon 4:7 But early on the morning after, God made ready a worm for the destruction of the vine, and it became dry and dead.
Jon 4:8 Then when the sun came up, God sent a burning east wind: and so great was the heat of the sun on his head that Jonah was overcome, and, requesting death for himself, said, Death is better for me than life.
Jon 4:9 And the Lord said to Jonah, Have you any right to be angry about the vine? And he said, I have a right to be trul"};
