Basic HTML Version
let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that
is
in their hands.
9
Who can
tell
if
God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
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.
CHAPTER 4
But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.
2
And he prayed unto the L
ORD
, and
said, I pray thee, O L
ORD
,
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.
3
Therefore now, O L
ORD
, take, I beseech thee, my
life from me; for
it is
better for me to die than to live.
4
Then said the L
ORD
, Doest thou well to be angry?
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.
6
And the L
ORD
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.
7
But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and
it smote the gourd that it withered.
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.
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.
10
Then said
the L
ORD
, 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:
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?
Micah
CHAPTER 1
The word of the L
ORD
that came to Micah the Morasthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz,
and
Hezekiah,
kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
2
Hear, all ye people; hearken,
O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the Lord from his
holy temple.
3
For, behold, the L
ORD
cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread
upon the high places of the earth.
4
And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys
shall be cleft, as wax before the fire,
and
as the waters
that are
poured down a steep place.
