Jonah 1:10-12

10Then the menH376 becameH3372 extremelyH3374H1419 frightenedH3372 and they saidH559 to him, “1HowH4100 could you doH6213 thisH2088?” For the menH376 knewH3045 that he was 2fleeingH1272 from the presenceH6440 of the LordH3068, becauseH3588 he had toldH5046 them.

11So they saidH559 to him, “WhatH4100 should we doH6213 to you that the seaH3220 may becomeH8367 calmH8367 3for us?”--for the seaH3220 was becomingH1980 increasinglyH1980 stormyH5590.

12He saidH559 to them, “PickH5375 me up and throwH2904 me into the seaH3220. Then the seaH3220 will becomeH8367 calmH8367 4for you, for I knowH3045 that 5on accountH7945 of me thisH2088 greatH1419 stormH5591 has come upon you.”
