Jonah 1:13-16

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.”

16The men were terrified of the Lord. They offered sacrifices and made vows to the Lord.
