Bible. Jonah
32:001:016 Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a
sacrifice unto the LORD, and made vows.
32:001:017 Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah.
And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three
nights.
32:002:001 Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's
belly,
32:002:002 And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD,
and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou
heardest my voice.
32:002:003 For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the
seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and
thy waves passed over me.
32:002:004 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again
toward thy holy temple.
32:002:005 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth
closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
32:002:006 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with
her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my
life from corruption, O LORD my God.
32:002:007 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my
prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
32:002:008 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
32:002:009 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving;
I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.
32:002:010 And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah
upon the dry land.
32:003:001 And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time,
saying,
32:003:002 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it
the preaching that I bid thee.
32:003:003 So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word
of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three
days' journey.
32:003:004 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he
cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be
overthrown.
32:003:005 So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast,
and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the
least of them.
32:003:006 For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his
throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with
sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
32:003:007 And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through
Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let
neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let
them not feed, nor drink water:
32:003:008 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry
mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil
way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
