But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of Jehovah. And he went down to Joppa. And he found a ship going to Tarshish. And he gave its fare, and went down into it, in order to go with them to Tarshish, away from the sight of Jehovah.

But Jehovah hurled a great wind into the sea, and there was a great storm in the sea, so that the ship was thought to be broken.

Then the seamen were afraid, and each man cried to his god. And they threw out the ship's articles in the ship, into the sea in order to lighten it. But Jonah had gone down into the hold of the ship; and he lay there, and was fast asleep.

And he said to them, Take me up and throw me out into the sea. And the sea shall be calm to you; for I know that this great storm has come on you for my sake.

And they lifted Jonah up and threw him out into the sea; and the sea ceased from its raging.

For You cast me into the depths of the seas, and the current surrounded me. All Your breakers and Your waves passed over me.

When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; and my prayer came in to You, into Your holy temple.

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!
