NAH 2:8 But Nineveh {is} of old like a pool of water: yet they shall flee away. Stand, stand, {shall they cry}; but none shall look back. MAT 12:41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas {is} here. EZR 9:6 And said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for our iniquities are increased over {our} head, and our trespass is grown up unto the heavens. > JON 1:3 But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. > JON 1:4 But the Lord sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken. > JON 1:5 Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god, and cast forth the wares that {were} in the ship into the sea, {to} lighten it of them. But Jonah was gone down into the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep. > JON 1:6 So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not. PSA 78:34 When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and inquired early after God. MAT 8:25 And his disciples came to {him}, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. > JON 1:7 And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil {is} upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah. p.3 PRO 16:33 The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof {is} of the Lord. > JON 1:8 Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil {is} upon us; What {is} thine occupation? and whence comest thou? What {is} thy country? and of what people {art} thou? JOS 7:19 And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the Lord God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide {it} not from me. > JON 1:9 And he said unto them, I {am} an Hebrew; and I fear the Lord, the God of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry {land}. > JON 1:10 Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him. Why hast thou done this? For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the Lord, because he had told them. > JON 1:11 Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous. > JON 1:12 And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest {is} upon you. ECC 9:18 Wisdom {is} better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good. > JON 1:13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring {it} to the land; but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them. PRO 21:30 {There is} no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the Lord. > JON 1:14 Wherefore they cried unto the Lord, and said, We beseech thee, O Lord, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O Lord, hast done as it pleased thee. DEU 21:8 Be merciful, O Lord, unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood unto thy people of Israel's charge. And the blood shall be forgiven them. > JON 1:15 So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging. p.4 > JON 1:16 Then the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the Lord, and made vows. > JON 1:17 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. MAT 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. > JON 2:1 Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish's belly, > JON 2:2 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. > JON 2:3 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. PSA 88:6 Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps. > JON 2:4 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple. PSA 31:22 For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee. ISA 49:14 But Zion said, The Lord hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me. 1KI 8:38 What prayer and supplication soever be {made} by any man, {or} by all thy people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house: > JON 2:5 The waters compassed me about, {even} to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head. > JON 2:6 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. > JON 2:7 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the Lord: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple. p.5 PSA 18:6 In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, {even} into his ears. PSA 34:6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard {him}, and saved him out of all his troubles. PSA 130:2 Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. > JON 2:8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy. > 2KI 17:15 And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that {were} round about them, {concerning} whom the Lord had charged them, that they should not do like them. PSA 31:6 I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the Lord. JER 10:8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock {is} a doctrine of vanities. > JON 2:9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay {that} that I have vowed. Salvation {is} of the Lord. PSA 50:14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High: PSA 66:13 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows, PSA 66:14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble. HOS 14:2 Take with you words, and turn to the Lord: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive {us} graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips. HEB 13:15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of {our} lips giving thanks to his name. > JON 2:10 And the Lord spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry {land}. MAT 8:9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this {man}, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth {it}. p.6 > JON 3:1 And the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the second time, saying, > JON 3:2 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee. > JON 3:3 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. > JON 3:4 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. > JON 3:5 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. MAT 12:41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas {is} here. LUK 11:32 The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas {is} here. > JON 3:6 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. JOB 2:8 And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes. JER 6:26 O daughter of my people, gird {thee} with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, {as for} an only son, most bitter lamentation: for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us. LAM 3:29 He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope. > JON 3:7 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: 2CH 20:3 And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the Lord, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. p.7 JOE 2:15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: > JON 3:8 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. ISA 1:16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; EZE 33:11 Say unto them, {As} I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel? DAN 4:27 Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity. > JON 3:9 Who can tell {if} God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? > JON 3:10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did {it} not. > JON 4:1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry. MAT 20:15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good? > JON 4:2 And he prayed unto the Lord, and said, I pray thee, O Lord, {was} not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou {art} a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil. EXO 34:6 And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, > JON 4:3 Therefore now, O Lord, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for {it is} better for me to die than to live. p.8 1KI 19:4 But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, it is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life; for I {am} not better than my fathers. > JON 4:4 Then said the Lord, Doest thou well to be angry? > JON 4:5 So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city. > JON 4:6 And the Lord God prepared a gourd, and made {it} to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd. > JON 4:7 But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered. > JON 4:8 And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, {It is} better for me to die than to live. > JON 4:9 And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, {even} unto death. > JON 4:10 Then said the Lord, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night: > JON 4:11 And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and {also} much cattle? EZE 33:11 Say unto them, {As} I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel? DEU 1:39 Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it. PSA 36:6 Thy righteousness {is} like the great mountains; thy judgments {are} a great deep: O Lord, thou preservest man and beast.
