So I will do this to you, O Israel: Because of this that I will do to you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel.

For, behold, He who forms mountains and creates the wind and declares to man what His thought is , He who makes the dawn darkness, and treads on the high places of the earth; Jehovah, the God of Hosts, is His name.

Seek good and not evil, that you may live; and so Jehovah the God of Hosts shall be with you, as you have spoken.

Hate evil, and love good, and establish justice in the gate. It may be that Jehovah the God of Hosts will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.

So Jehovah, the God of Hosts, the Lord, says this: Wailing shall be in all streets, and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! Alas! And they shall call the farmer to the mourning, and those knowing wailing to lamentation.

And I will exile you beyond Damascus, says Jehovah, the God of Hosts is His name.

The Lord Jehovah has sworn by Himself, declares Jehovah, the God of Hosts: I abhor the pride of Jacob, and hate his palaces; and I will shut up the city and its fullness.

For, behold, I will raise a nation up against you, O house of Israel, declares Jehovah, the God of Hosts. And they shall oppress you from the entrance of Hamath to the torrent of the Arabah.

They who swear by the guilt of Samaria, and say, As your God lives, O Dan! And, As the way of Beer-sheba lives! Even they shall fall, and not rise again.

And I will plant them on their land, and they shall never again be pulled up out of their land which I have given to them, says Jehovah your God.

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

And the chief of the seamen came near to him and said to him, What is it to you, O fast sleeping one? Rise up and cry out to your God! Perhaps our god will notice us, and we will not perish.

And he said to them, I am a Hebrew. And I fear Jehovah, the God of Heaven, who has made the sea and the dry land.

And Jonah prayed to Jehovah his God out of the belly of the fish.

I went down to the bases of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me forever. But You brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.

And Jonah rose up and went to Nineveh according to the Word of Jehovah. And Nineveh was a great city to God, of three days' journey.

And the men of Nineveh believed in God, and they called a fast and put on sackclothes, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.

But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth. And let them call with strength to God. And let them each one turn from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.

Who knows? He may turn, and God may have pity and turn away from the glow of His anger, that we do not perish.

And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way. And God was compassionate over the evil that He had spoken to do to them, and He did not do it .
