And the lot fell upon Jonah.
And the lot fell vpon Ionah.
Now Jonah could not deny he was that sinner, unless he would accuse God of unrighteous judgement: for the lot is cast into the lap, but the whole disposition there of is of the Lord. Now therefore he must needs confess it The winds thundering. the waves tumbling the ship cracking, the mariners quaking, upon their gods crying, their wares forth casting, Jonahs prayers requested, to cast lots consulting, Jonah kept himself close, he would not be thought that sinner. The wind said I will over turn thee: the water said, I will drown thee: the ship said, I cannot hold thee: the mariners said, We cannot help thee: his prayers said, We cannot profit thee, his conscience within bleeding, and God at the door of his heart knocking, and the lots now ready for casting, said threateningly, For thee the tempest is come, thou fugitive, and we will discover thee.
Now Ionah could not deny he was that sinner, vnlesse hee would accuse God of vnrighteous iudgement: for the lot is cast into the lap, but the whole disposition there of is of the Lord. Now therefore he must needs confesse it The winds thundring. the waues tumbling the ship cracking, the mariners quaking, vpon their gods crying, their wares forth casting, Ionahs prayers requested, to cast lots consulting, Ionah kept himselfe close, hee would not bee thought that sinner. The wind said I will ouer turne thee: the water said, I will drowne thee: the ship said, I cannot hold thee: the mariners said, We cannot helpe thee: his prayers said, Wee cannot profit thee, his conscience within bleeding, and God at the doore of his heart knocking, and the lots now ready for casting, said threatningly, For thee the tempest is come, thoufugitiue, and wee will discouer thee.
