1.  "Jonah answered, "I am a Hebrew, and I worship the LORD, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the land."

2.  "The LORD gave this message to Jonah son of Amittai:"

3.  "Throw me into the sea," Jonah said, "and it  will become calm again.  I know that this terrible storm is all my fault."

4.  "But Jonah got up and went in the opposite direction to get away from the LORD.  He went down to the port of Joppa, where he found a ship leaving for Tarshish.  He bought a ticket and went on board, hoping to escape from the LORD by sailing to Tarshish."

5.  "So the captain went down after him.  "How can you sleep at a time like this? " he shouted.  "Get up and pray to your god! Maybe he will pay attention to us and spare our lives."

6.  "Then the sailors picked Jonah up and threw him into the raging sea, and the storm stopped at once!

7. "Get up and go to the great city of Nineveh.  Announce my judgement against it because I have seen how wicked its people are."

8.  "But the LORD hurled a powerful wind over the sea, causing a violent storm that threatened to break the ship apart."

9.  "Instead, the sailors rowed even harder to get the ship to the land.  But the stormy sea was too violent for them, and they couldn't make it."

10.  "Now the LORD  had arranged for a great fish to swallo Jonah.  And Jonah was inside the fish for three days and three nights."

11.  "Then they cried out to the LORD, Jonah's God.  "O LORD, they pleaded, "don't make us die for this man's sin.  And don't hold us responsible for his death.  O LORD, you have sent this storm upon him for your own  good reasons."

12.  "Fearing for their lives, the desperate sailors shouted to their gods for help and threw the cargo overboard to lighten the ship.  But all this time Jonah was sound asleep
down in the hold."

13.  "Then the crew cast lots to see which of them had offended the gods and caused the terrible storm.  When they did this, the lots identify Jonah as the culprit."

14.  "The sailors were terrified when they heard this, for he had already told them he was running away from the LORD.  "Oh, why did you do it?" they groaned."

15.  "Why has this awful storm come down to us?" they demanded.  "Who are you? What is you line of work? What country are you from? What is your nationality?"

16.  "And since the storm was getting worse all the time, they asked him, "What should we do to you to stop this storm?"

17.  "The sailors were awestruck by the LORD'S great power, and they offered him a sacrifice and vowed to serve him."
