Jonah 1:12-17

12And he saidH559 to them, “PickH5375 me upH5375 and hurlH2904 me into the seaH3220. Then the seaH3220 will becomeH8367 calmH8367 1for you, becauseH3588 I knowH3045 that 2on accountH7945 of me thisH2088 greatH1419 stormH5591 has come upon you.” 13However, the menH376 3rowedH2864 desperately to returnH7725 to landH3004, but they couldH3201 not, becauseH3588 the seaH3220 was becomingH1980 even stormierH5590 againstH5921 them. 14Then they criedH7121 outH7121 to the 4LordH3068 and saidH559, “We earnestlyH577 prayH577, OH577 LordH3068, do not let us perishH6 on account of thisH2088 man’sH376 lifeH5315, and do not putH5414 innocentH5355 bloodH1818 on us; for 5You, LordH3068, have doneH6213 as You pleasedH2654.”

15So they pickedH5375 upH5375 JonahH3124 and hurledH2904 him into the seaH3220, and the seaH3220 6stoppedH5975 its ragingH2197. 16Then the menH376 becameH3372 extremelyH3374H1419 afraidH3372 of the LordH3068, and they offeredH2076 a sacrificeH2077 to the LordH3068 and madeH5087 7vowsH5088.

178And the LordH3068 designatedH4487 a greatH1419 fishH1709 to swallowH1104 JonahH3124, and JonahH3124 was in the 9stomachH4578 of the fishH1709 for threeH7969 daysH3117 and threeH7969 nightsH3915.
