The initial reading comes from the chapters in the book of Jonah from the New English Translation Net while the second translation also reads from the same book but from the New King James Version of the Bible. The New English Translation version can be derived from the web linked link http://www.blakleycreative.com/jtb/Text/Jonah_NETBible_Endnotes.pdf. The new King James Version (KJV) version can be retrieved from following web link https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jonah+4&version=KJV
The two versions of the bible show significant differences in the choosing of words. The Net Bible translation tries to use simple and modern English style. Imagery, metaphors and other forms of speech are lost as the bible efforts to translate the verse in a modest way possible. New King James version tries to preserve the rhythm, poetry accuracy and the beauty of the original language used. There are Similarities such as in the use of world LORD in capital letters, a flow of occurrences in both versions. Jonah 1:3 net Bible Instead Jonah immediately12 headed off to a distant seaport13to escape14 from the commission of the LORD. Jonah 1:3 NKJV; But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord and went down to Joppa, and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. Other differences in choice of wording can be depicted in Jonah 1:5, 1:13, 2:7, 2:10, 3:5, 3: 10, 4: 3, 4:8 among others verses.
