Jonah 1:10-12
10Then the men became extremely frightened and they said to him, “1How could you do this?” For the men knew that he was 2fleeing from the presence of the Lord, because he had told them.
11So they said to him, “What should we do to you that the sea may become calm 3for us?”--for the sea was becoming increasingly stormy.
12He said to them, “Pick me up and throw me into the sea. Then the sea will become calm 4for you, for I know that 5on account of me this great storm has come upon you.”
