Jonah 1:13-16

13Instead, the men did their best to row back to land. But they could not, for the sea grew even wilder than before.

14Then they cried out to the Lord, “Please, Lord, do not let us die for taking this man’s life. Do not hold us accountable for killing an innocent man, for you, Lord, have done as you pleased.”

15Then they took Jonah and threw him overboard, and the raging sea grew calm.

16At this the men greatly feared the Lord, and they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made vows to him.
