Jonah 1 - Douy-Rheims Bible Challoner Revision

1 And he said to them: I am a Hebrew, and I fear the Lord the God of heaven, who made both the sea and the dry land.

2 0 And the men were greatly afraid, and they said to him: Why hast thou done this? (for the men knew that he fled from the face of the Lord: because he had told them.)

3 1 And they said to him: What shall we do to thee, that the sea may be calm to us? for the sea flowed and swelled.

4 2 And he said to them: Take me up, and cast me into the sea, and the sea shall be calm to you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.

5 3 And the men rowed hard to return to land, but they were not able: because the sea tossed and swelled upon them.

6 4 And they cried to the Lord, and said: We beseech thee, O Lord, 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.

7 5 And they took Jonas, and cast him into the sea, and the sea ceased from raging.

8 6 And the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and sacrificed victims to the Lord, and made vows.

9 7 Now the Lord prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonas: and Jonas was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

10 And Jonas prayed to the Lord his God out of the belly of the fish.

11 And he said: I cried out of my affliction to the Lord, and he heard me: I cried out of the belly of hell, and thou hast heard my voice.

12 And thou hast cast me forth into the deep in the heart of the sea, and a flood hath compassed me: all thy billows, and thy waves have passed over me.

13 And I said: I am cast away out of the sight of thy eyes: but yet I shall see thy holy temple again.

14 The waters compassed me about even to the soul: the deep hath closed me round about, the sea hath covered my head.

15 I went down to the lowest parts of the mountains: the bars of the earth have shut me up for ever: and thou wilt bring up my life from corruption, O Lord my God.

16 When my soul was in distress within me, I remembered the Lord: that my prayer may come to thee, unto thy holy temple.

17 They that are vain observe vanities, forsake their own mercy.
