Jonah 1:4-10
4Then the LORDH3068 hurledH2904 a greatH1419 windH7307 uponH413 the seaH3220, and such a violentH1419 stormH5591 aroseH1961 that the shipH591 was in dangerH2803 of breaking apartH7665. 5The sailorsH4419 were afraidH3372, and eachH376 cried outH2199 toH413 his own godH430. And they threwH2904 the ship’sH591 cargoH3627 intoH413 the seaH3220 to lightenH7043 the loadH5921. But JonahH3124 had gone downH3381 toH413 the lowest partH3411 of the vesselH5600, where he lay downH7901 and fell into a deep sleepH7290.
6The captainH7227H2259 approachedH7126 himH413 and saidH559, “HowH4100 can you sleepH7290? Get upH6965 and callH7121 uponH413 your GodH430. PerhapsH194 this GodH430 will considerH6245 us, so thatH3808 we may not perishH6.”
7“ComeH1980!” said the sailorsH559 toH413 one anotherH7453. “Let us castH5307 lotsH1486 to find outH3045 who is responsibleH4310 for thisH2063 calamityH7451 that is upon us.”
So they castH5307 lotsH1486, and the lotH1486 fellH5307 onH5921 JonahH3124.
8“TellH5046 us nowH4994,” they demandedH559, “whoH4310 is to blameH834 for thisH2063 calamityH7451 that is upon us? WhatH4100 is your occupationH4399, and whereH370 have you come fromH935? WhatH4100 is your countryH776, and whoH335H2088 are yourH859 peopleH5971?”
9“I amH595 a HebrewH5680,” replied JonahH559H413. “IH589 worshipH3373 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of the heavensH8064, whoH834 madeH6213 the seaH3220 and the dry landH3004.”
10Then the menH582 were even moreH1419 afraidH3372H3374 and saidH559 to himH413, “WhatH4100 have you doneH6213?” The menH582 knewH3045 thatH3588 heH1931 was fleeingH1272 from the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068, becauseH3588 he had toldH5046 them.
