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

But LORD sent out a great wind upon the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea, so that the ship was about to be broken.

And he said to them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea, so shall the sea be calm to you. For I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.

And LORD prepared a great sea creature to swallow up Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the sea creature three days and three nights.

Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach to it the preaching that I bid thee.

So Jonah arose, and went to Nineveh, according to the word of LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, of three days' journey.

And LORD God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to deliver him from his misery. So Jonah was very glad because of the gourd.

But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd, that it withered.

And God said to Jonah, Do thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even to death.

And LORD said, Thou have had regard for the gourd, for which thou have not labored, nor made it grow, which came up in a night, and perished in a night.

And should not I have regard for Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred and twenty thousand men who cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand, and also much cattle?
