Jonah 1:13-16

13Instead, they tried to row back to land, but they were not able to do so because the storm kept growing worse and worse.

14So they cried out to the Lord, “Oh, please, Lord, don’t let us die on account of this man! Don’t hold us guilty of shedding innocent blood. After all, you, Lord, have done just as you pleased.”

15So they picked Jonah up and threw him into the sea, and the sea stopped raging.

16The men feared the Lord greatly, and earnestly vowed to offer lavish sacrifices to the Lord.
