Jonas 1:1-17 NVIPT

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jonah 1:10

Then; when Jonah had declared his God, whose power and wrath these mariners saw and heard in the tempest, and what sin of his was now punished, and how they had taken him into their ship, knowing that he did runaway from this mighty God. The men were exceedingly afraid; their fear was doubled, every thing now represents horror to them, their own danger, Nineveh’s approaching dismal ruin, which they believe by what they see, satisfied that he who so tremendously punished the refusal to deliver... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jonah 1:11

Then said they; when they heard all that Jonah had declared to them, and well weighed it all, and saw it looked all of one piece, most credible. Unto him; a prophet fittest in that respect to tell them what should be done, and a party so highly concerned in it. What shall we do unto thee? if thy God will by thee declare his will and we do it, we shall not provoke him; and if thou submit to his will, and direct us, we shall not injure thee. That the sea may be calm; cease its rage, and return to... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jonah 1:12

He said unto them; he readily gives them advice for their safety. Take me up: this he spake as a prophet directed of God, and not, as some Jewish rabbi thinks, choosing to die rather than to go to Nineveh. Cast me forth into the sea; throw me overboard into the sea; no other way must you deal with me than this, and this way I not only direct as expedient, but from God I give you it as a command, and you must do it; thus my God will punish my disobedience and contempt. So shall the sea be calm... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jonah 1:13

Nevertheless, Heb. And; but rightly to the proper sense of the phrase rendered here nevertheless: Notwithstanding the lot fell on Jonah, he confessed his fault, directs them to cast him overboard, and in all this avoweth himself to be a prophet of God, and assures them of a calm sea if they do this; yet, very willing to save him, the men rowed hard; they contrived all ways, and are willing to be at any labour to save him; they ply their oars, and strain their strength, with deep strokes tb... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jonah 1:14

Wherefore, since all their labour and skill to carry the ship to shore was successless, and they saw no remedy, but they must either follow Jonah’s advice against himself, or drown with him, they cried, with importunity of mind, and with loud voices too in prayer, unto the Lord; not now, as in the beginning of the tempest, every man to his god; but, better instructed now, they all cry to Jonah’s God, to Jehovah the true God. We; they all join in prayer. Beseech; sue to Mercy for mercy; they... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jonah 1:15

So, Heb. And, they took up Jonah; as he advised; with reset to themselves, though with full-consent of Jonah, at last they yield. Cast him forth into the sea: see Jonah 1:12. And the sea ceased from her raging; as Jonah had assured them, so they find the sea all on a sudden calm and friendly, which we must understand includes the wind sent into the sea, though it be not mentioned here. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jonah 1:16

Then, when they saw God approved the thing, and confirmed Jonah’s word, as of a true prophet, and had spared them, the men, the seamen, and all others, if any others were in the ship, feared the Lord; with a deep reverence of his power, wisdom, and justice against Jonah, and of his mercy towards them. What was the final effect of this, and whether they were by it thoroughly turned to God, I inquire not now; it may best become our charity, that as Jonah’s casting overboard was type of Christ’s... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jonah 1:17

Now, Heb. And. Prepared; created at first, say some; but what need that, when a mighty overgrown fish of a double age may do this; by God’s will and appointment it attended the ship, and followed it in the storm, expecting a prey, and ready to receive the prisoner. A great fish; a whale, as we read, Matthew 12:40; others say it was a shark, a fish common in those seas. To swallow up; not to chew upon him, but to take him down whole. Jonah was in the belly of the fish, in safe custody, three... read more
