Jonah 1:12-17

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.

17And Jehovah prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah; and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
