Jonah 1:4-10
4However, the 1Lord hurled a great wind on the sea and there was a great storm on the sea, so that the ship was about to 2break up. 5Then the sailors became afraid and every man cried out to 3his 4god, and they 5hurled the 6cargo which was in the ship into the sea to lighten it 7for them. But Jonah had gone below into the stern of the ship, had lain down, and fallen sound asleep. 6So the captain approached him and said, “How is it that you are sleeping? Get up, 8call on your god! Perhaps your 9god will be concerned about us so that we will not perish.”
7And each man said to his mate, “Come, let’s 10cast lots so that we may 11find out on whose account this catastrophe has struck us.” So they cast lots, and the 12lot fell on Jonah. 8Then they said to him, “13Tell us, now! On whose account has this catastrophe struck us? What is your 14occupation, and where do you come from? What is your country, and from what people are you?” 9So he said to them, “I am a 15Hebrew, and I 16fear the Lord 17God of heaven who 18made the sea and the dry land.”
10Then the men became extremely afraid, and they said to him, “19How could you do this?” For the men knew that he was 20fleeing from the presence of the Lord, because he had told them.
