Jonah 1:7-8
7Each man said to his mate, “Come, let us 1cast lots so we may 2learn on whose account this calamity has struck us.” So they cast lots and the 3lot fell on Jonah.
8Then they said to him, “4Tell us, now! On whose account has this calamity struck us? What is your 5occupation? And where do you come from? What is your country? From what people are you?”
