| Jonah 1:2 | Up! go to Nineveh, that great town, and let your voice come to it; for their evil-doing has come up before me. | Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me. | "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach against it, for their wickedness has come up before me." |
| Jonah 1:3 | And Jonah got up to go in flight to Tarshish, away from the Lord; and he went down to Joppa, and saw there a ship going to Tarshish: so he gave them the price of the journey and went down into it to go with them to Tarshish, away from the Lord. | But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of Jehovah; and he went down to Joppa, and 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 Jehovah. | But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of Yahweh.

Arise, call on your gods! Maybe the gods will notice us, so that we won't perish." |
