1 Dođe reč Gospodnja Joni, sinu Amatijevom govoreći: 2 Ustani, idi u Nineviju grad veliki, i propovedaj protiv njega, jer izađe zloća njihova preda me. 3 A Jona usta da beži u Tarsis od Gospoda, i sišav u Jopu nađe lađu koja iđaše u Tarsis i plativ vozarinu uđe u nju da otide s njima u Tarsis od Gospoda. 4 Ali Gospod podiže velik vetar na moru, i posta velika bura na moru da mišljahu da će se razbiti lađa. 5 I lađari uplašivši se prizivahu svaki svog boga, i bacahu šta beše u lađi u more da bi bila lakša; a Jona beše sišao na dno lađi, i legav spavaše tvrdo. 6 A upravitelj od lađe pristupi k njemu i reče mu: Šta ti spavaš! Ustani, prizivaj Boga svog, ne bi li nas se opomenuo Bog da ne poginemo. 7 Potom rekoše jedan drugom: Hodite, da bacimo žreb da vidimo sa koga dođe na nas ovo zlo. I baciše žreb, i pade žreb na Jonu. 8 Tada mu rekoše: Kaži nam zašto dođe ovo zlo na nas; koje si radnje? I odakle ideš? Iz koje si zemlje? I od koga si naroda? 9 A on im reče: Jevrejin sam, i bojim se Gospoda Boga nebeskog, koji je stvorio more i suvu zemlju. 10 Tada se vrlo uplašiše ljudi, i rekoše mu: Šta si učinio? Jer doznaše ljudi da beži od Gospoda, jer im on kaza. 11 I rekoše mu: Šta ćemo činiti s tobom, da bi nam more utolilo? Jer bura na moru bivaše sve veća. 12 A on im reče: Uzmite me i bacite me u more, i more će vam utoliti, jer vidim da je s mene došla na vas ova velika bura. 13 A ljudi stadoše veslati da bi došli ka kraju; ali ne mogahu, jer im bura na moru bivaše sve veća. 14 Tada prizvaše Gospoda i rekoše: Molimo Ti se, Gospode, da ne poginemo radi duše ovog čoveka, i nemoj metnuti na nas krv pravu, jer Ti, Gospode, činiš kako hoćeš. 15 Potom uzeše Jonu i baciše ga u more, i presta bura na moru. 16 Tada se pobojaše oni ljudi Gospoda vrlo, i prinesoše žrtvu Gospodu i učiniše zavete.

Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… the sign of Jonah, for those who held the same opinion as Jonah regarding the Lord, and who confessed, and said, "I am a servant of the Lord, and I worship the Lord God of heaven, who hath made the sea and the dry land." [This was done] that man, receiving an unhoped-for salvation from God, might rise from the …
