Jonah 1:5-11

5Then the sailorsH4419 becameH3372 afraidH3372 and everyH376 manH376 criedH2199 outH2199 to 1his 2godH430, and they 3hurledH2904 the 4cargoH3627 whichH834 was in the shipH591 into the seaH3220 to lightenH7043 it 5for them. But JonahH3124 had goneH3381 belowH3381 into the sternH3411 of the shipH5600, had lainH7901 downH7901, and fallenH7290 soundH7290 asleepH7290. 6So the captainH7227H2259 approachedH7126 him and saidH559, “HowH4100 is it that you are sleepingH7290? GetH6965 upH6965, 6callH7121 on your godH430! PerhapsH194 your 7godH430 will be concernedH6245 about us so that we will not perishH6.”

7And eachH376 manH376 saidH559 to his mateH7453, “ComeH1980, let’s 8castH5307 lotsH1486 so that we may 9findH3045 outH3045 on whoseH4310 accountH7945 thisH2088 catastropheH7463 has struck us.” So they castH5307 lotsH1486, and the 10lotH1486 fellH5307 on JonahH3124. 8Then they saidH559 to him, “11TellH5046 us, nowH4994! On whoseH4310 account has thisH2088 catastropheH7463 struck us? WhatH4100 is your 12occupationH4399, and whereH370 do you comeH935 from? WhatH4100 is your countryH776, and from whatH335H2088 peopleH5971 are you?” 9So he saidH559 to them, “I am a 13HebrewH5680, and I 14fearH3372 the LordH3068 15GodH430 of heavenH8064 whoH834 16madeH6213 the seaH3220 and the dryH3004 landH3004.”

10Then the menH376 becameH3372 extremelyH3374H1419 afraidH3372, and they saidH559 to him, “17HowH4100 could you doH6213 thisH2088?” For the menH376 knewH3045 that he was 18fleeingH1272 from the presenceH6440 of the LordH3068, becauseH3588 he had toldH5046 them. 11So they saidH559 to him, “WhatH4100 should we doH6213 to you so that the seaH3220 will becomeH8367 calmH8367 19for us?”--for the seaH3220 was becomingH1980 increasinglyH1980 stormyH5590.
