Jonah 1:4-10

4But Jehovah sent out a greatH1419 windH7307 upon the seaH3220, and there wasH1961 a mighty tempestH5591 on the seaH3220, so that the shipH591 wasH1961 like to beH1961 brokenH7665. 5Then the mariners were afraidH3372, and criedH2199 every manH376 unto his godH430; and they cast forth the wares that were in the shipH591 into the seaH3220, to lightenH7043 it unto them. But JonahH3124 was goneH3381 downH3381 into the innermostH3411 partsH3411 of the shipH591; and he layH7901, and was fast asleep. 6So the shipmaster came to him, and saidH559 unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? ariseH6965, callH7121 upon thy GodH430, if so be that GodH430 will think upon us, that we perishH6 not. 7And they saidH559 every oneH376 to his fellow, Come, and let us castH5307 lotsH1486, that we may knowH3045 for whose cause this evilH7451 is upon us. So they castH5307 lotsH1486, and the lotH1486 fellH5307 upon JonahH3124. 8Then saidH559 they unto him, TellH5046 us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evilH7451 is upon us; what is thine occupation? and whence comest thou? what is thy country? and of what peopleH5971 art thou? 9And he saidH559 unto them, I am a HebrewH5680; and I fearH3373 Jehovah, the GodH430 of heavenH8064, who hath madeH6213 the seaH3220 and the dryH3004 landH3004. 10Then were the menH376 exceedingly afraidH3372, and saidH559 unto him, What is this that thou hast done? For the menH376 knewH3045 that he was fleeingH1272 from the presenceH6440 of Jehovah, because he had toldH5046 them.
