Jonah 1:11-16
11NowH3588 the seaH3220 was growing worseH1980 and worseH5590, so they saidH559 toH413 Jonah, “WhatH4100 must we doH6213 to you to calmH8367 this seaH3220 for usH5921?”
12“Pick me upH5375,” he answeredH559, “and cast meH2904 intoH413 the seaH3220, so itH3220 may quiet downH8367 for youH5921. ForH3588 IH589 knowH3045 thatH3588 I am to blame for thisH2088 violentH1419 stormH5591 that has come upon youH5921.”
13Nevertheless, the menH582 rowed hardH28641 to get backH7725 toH413 dry landH3004, but theyH3808 could notH3201, forH3588 the seaH3220 was ragingH5590 against themH5921 more and moreH1980.
14So they cried outH7121 toH413 the LORDH3068H559: “PleaseH577, O LORDH3068, do notH408H4994 let us perishH6 on account of thisH2088 man’sH376 lifeH5315! Do notH408 chargeH5414 usH5921 with innocentH5355 bloodH1818! ForH3588 YouH859, O LORDH3068, have doneH6213 asH834 You pleasedH2654.”
15Then they picked upH5375 JonahH3124 and cast himH2904 intoH413 the seaH3220, and the ragingH2197 seaH3220 grew calmH5975.
16Then the menH582H3374 fearedH3372 the LORDH3068 greatlyH1419, and they offeredH2076 a sacrificeH2077 to the LORDH3068 and madeH5087 vowsH5088 to Him.
