Jonah Flees from the LORD
1 AND the word of our Lord was made to Jonas the son of Amathi, saying:
2 Arise, and go into Ninive the great city, and preach in it: because the malice thereof is ascended before me.
3 And Jonas arose to fly into Tharsis from the face of our Lord, and he went down into Joppe, and found a ship going into Tharsis: and he gave the fare thereof, and went down into it, that he might go with them into Tharsis from the face of our Lord.
Great Storm
4 But our Lord sent a great wind into the sea: and a great tempest was made in the sea, and the ship was in danger to be broken.
5 And the mariners were afraid, and the men cried to their god: & they threw the vessels, that were in the ship, into the sea, that it might be lightened of them: & Jonas went down into the inner part of the ship, and slept a deep sleep.
6 And the governer came to him & said to him: Why art thou oppressed with sleep? Rise, invocate thy God, if perhaps God will think of us, and we perish not.
