Jonah 1:11-16

11Then saidH559 they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the seaH3220 may be calmH8367 unto us? for the seaH3220 grew more and more tempestuous. 12And he saidH559 unto them, TakeH5375 me up, and cast me forth into the seaH3220; so shall the seaH3220 be calmH8367 unto you: for I knowH3045 that for my sake this greatH1419 tempestH5591 is upon you. 13Nevertheless the menH376 rowed hard to get them backH7725 to the landH3004; but they could not: for the seaH3220 grew more and more tempestuous against them. 14Wherefore they cried unto Jehovah, and saidH559, We beseech thee, O Jehovah, we beseech thee, let us not perishH6 for this man’sH376 lifeH5315, and lay not upon us innocentH5355 bloodH1818; for thou, O Jehovah, hast done as it pleasedH2654 thee. 15So they tookH5375 up JonahH3124, and cast him forth into the seaH3220; and the seaH3220 ceased from its raging. 16Then the menH376 fearedH3372 Jehovah exceedingly; and they offeredH2076 a sacrificeH2077 unto Jehovah, and madeH5087 vowsH5088.
