1 And it greatly displeased Jonah, and he burned with anger.
2 And he prayed to the Lord and he said, “I pray, O Lord, is this not my word until my leaving of my country? This is why I intended to flee to Tarshish for I knew that you are a gracious God and compassionate, slow to anger and great in lovingkindness and relenting from disaster. 3 And now, O Lord please take my life from me for better is my death than my life. 4 And the Lord said, "Are you rightly angry?"
5 And Jonah went from the city and he sat east of the city and he made for himself there a booth and he sat underneath it in the shade until he could see what would become of the city. 6 And the Lord God assigned a gourd and he caused it to grow up over Jonah to become shade over his head to deliver to him from his grief and Jonah rejoiced over the gourd with great joy.
7 And God appointed a worm to go up at the dawn on of the next day it scouraged the plant and it dried up.
8 Then, the sun rose and God appointed a silent east wind and the sun scourged the head of Jonah and covered him and he asked his soul to die and he said, "It is better for me to die than to live."
9 God said to Jonah, "Are you pleased to be angry over the plant? " And he said, "I am pleased to be angry even until death."
10 And the Lord said, "You took pity on the plant which you did not labor over, and did not cause him to grow, which came into being in the night in the night perished.
11 And will I not have pity for Nineveh, the great city which has in her more than from 120,000 men who did not know between his right hand his left hand and many animals?

Jonah Chapter 3
1 Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time saying, 2 "Arise, go to Ninevah, the great city and proclaim against her the proclamation which I am speaking to you."
3 And Jonah rose and went to Ninevah according to the word of the Lord. And Ninevah was an exceedingly great city, a journey of three days. 4 And Jonah began to go into the city one days journey, and he called and he said, "Yet forty days and Ninevah will be overturned."5 The men of Ninevah believed in God and they proclaimed a fast and they put on sackcloth from the greatest of them to the least of them.
6 The word reached to the king of Ninevah, and he rose from his throne and he removed his cloak from upon him, and he covered himself with sackcloth and he sat down in ashes. 7 And he had a proclaimation made saying, "In Ninevah from the decree of the king and his officials: 'Man and beast, herd and sheep, they shall not taste anything, they shall not pasture, and they shall not drink water. 8 And they will cover themselves with sackcloth man and beast, and they will call to God with steadfastness and they will turn each man from his evil path and from the violence which is in the palms of their hands. 9 Who knows? God may relent and he may turn from the burning of his anger and we may not perish.'"
10 And God saw their deeds for they turned from their evil way, and God relented from the disaster which he had said he would do to them he did not do.

Jonah Chapter 2
1 And Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish. 2 And he said,
"I called to the Lord from my distress
and he answered me;
from the belly of Sheol I asked,
and you heard my voice.
3 And you cast me out of the depths,
into the heart of the seas,
and current is enveloping me,
all your breakers and your waves passed over me
4 And I will say, 'I am cast out from in front of your eyes;
I shall surely look again to your holy temple.'
5 The waters encompassed me to take my life;
the deep enveloped me,
reeds were bound to my head.
6 I went down at the bottoms of the mountains
to the earth, its bars surrounded me for eternity
but you brought my life up from the pit,
O Lord my God.
7 When my soul fainted on me
I remembered the Lord,
and my prayer came unto you
in your holy temple.
8 From guarding the vapor of emptiness,
their goodness they will forsake
9 And I with a voice of thanksgiving
please let me sacrifice to you,
that which I have vowed let me pay.
Salvation certainly belongs to the Lord!"
10 And the Lord spoke to the fish and it vomited Jonah upon the dry land.

Jonah Chapter 1
1Then, the word of the Lord came unto Jonah son of Amittai saying, 2 "Arise, go to Ninevah, the great city and call against her, for their wickedness has come up before me."
3 But Jonah rose to flee to Tarshish from the before the face of the Lord, and he went down to Joppa, and he found a ship going to Tarshish, and he paid its fare and he went down into her to go with them to Tarshish away from the face of the Lord.
4 But the Lord hurled a great wind into the sea. And then, a great tempest was on the sea and the ship threatened to be broken up. 5 And the mariners were afraid and they cried each man to his god. And they hurled the cargo which was in the ship into the sea to lighten it from upon them. But Jonah had gone down into the recesses of the ship and he had lied down and was fast sleep. 6 And the captain drew near to him, and he said to him, "Why are you fast asleep? Arise, call upon your God, perhaps God will give thought to us, and we will not perish."
7 And they said each man to one another, come let us cast lots that we may know on whose account, this evil has fallen to us, so they cast lots and the lot fell on Jonah. 8 And they said to him, "Now, tell to us on whose account this evil came to us. What is your occupation? And where do you come from? What is your country? And of what people are you?" 9 And he said to them, "I am a Hebrew and I fear the Lord the God of the Heavens, who made the sea and the dry land."
10 Then the men were exceedingly afraid and they said to him, "What is this you have done." For the men knew that he had fled from the presence of the Lord because he had told it to them. 11 And they said to him, "What shall we do to you in order to quiet the sea from around us for the sea is growing more tempestuous?" 12 And he said to them, "Lift me and hurl me into the sea, in order to quiet the sea from around you for I know that it is on my account this great tempest is upon you."
13 But the men rowed to return to the dry land but they were not able to because the sea was growing more tempestuous against them. 14 And they called to the Lord and they said, "An opportunity is upon us now, let us not perish for the life of this man, and you will not lay on us innocent blood, for you O Lord have done as it pleased you." 15 And they carried Jonah and they hurled him into the sea and the sea stood still from its raging. 16 Then the men feared the Lord with great fear they sacrificed a sacrifice to the Lord and they vowed vows.
17 And the Lord assigned a great fish to swallow Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
