Jonah 1:5-11

5And the mariners were afraidH3372, and criedH2199 every oneH376 unto his 1godH430; and they cast forth the wares that were in the shipH591 into the seaH3220, to be lightened of them. But JonahH3124 had goneH3381 downH3381 into the lower partH3411 of the shipH591; and he layH7901, and was fast asleep.

6And the shipmaster came to him, and saidH559 unto him, What meanest thou, sleeper? ariseH6965, callH7121 upon thy 2GodH430; perhapsH194 3GodH430 will think upon us, that we perishH6 not.

7And they saidH559 each oneH376 to his fellow, Come, and let us castH5307 lotsH1486, that we may knowH3045 for whose cause this evilH7451 is upon us. And they castH5307 lotsH1486, and the lotH1486 fellH5307 upon JonahH3124.

8And they saidH559 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 4GodH430 of the heavensH8064, who hath madeH6213 the seaH3220 and the dryH3004 [landH3004].

10Then were the menH376 exceedingly afraidH3372, and saidH559 unto him, What is this thou hast done? For the menH376 knewH3045 that he fledH1272 from the presenceH6440 of Jehovah: for he had toldH5046 them.

11And they saidH559 unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the seaH3220 may be calmH8367 unto us? for the seaH3220 grew more and more tempestuous.
