Jonah 1:11-16

11So they said to him, “What should we do to you so that the sea will calm down for us?” For the sea was getting worse and worse.

12He answered them, “Pick me up and throw me into the sea so that it will calm down for you, for I know that I’m to blame for this great storm that is against you.”

13Nevertheless, the men rowed hard to get back to dry land, but they couldn’t because the sea was raging against them more and more.

14So they called out to the Lord, “Please, Lord, don’t let us perish because of this man’s life, and don’t charge us with innocent blood! For you, Lord, have done just as you pleased.”

15Then they picked up Jonah and threw him into the sea, and the sea stopped its raging.

16The men were seized by great fear of the Lord, and they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made vows.
