Jonah 1:11-16
11The storm was getting worse. So they asked Jonah, “What should we do with you to calm the sea?”
12He told them, “Throw me overboard. Then the sea will become calm. I know that I’m responsible for this violent storm.”
13Instead, the men tried to row harder to get the ship back to shore, but they couldn’t do it. The storm was getting worse.
14So they cried to the Lord for help: “Please, Lord, don’t let us die for taking this man’s life. Don’t hold us responsible for the death of an innocent man, because you, Lord, do whatever you want.”
15Then they took Jonah and threw him overboard, and the sea became calm.
16The men were terrified of the Lord. They offered sacrifices and made vows to the Lord.
