Jonah 1:11-16

11Then saidH559 they unto him, What shall we doH6213 unto thee, that the seaH3220 may be calmH8367 unto us? for the seaH3220 wroughtH1980, and was tempestuousH5590.12 12And he saidH559 unto them, Take me upH5375, and cast me forthH2904 into the seaH3220; so shall the seaH3220 be calmH8367 unto you: for I knowH3045 that for my sakeH7945 this greatH1419 tempestH5591 is upon you. 13Nevertheless the menH582 rowed hardH2864 to bringH7725 it to the landH3004; but they couldH3201 not: for the seaH3220 wroughtH1980, and was tempestuousH5590 against them.34 14Wherefore they criedH7121 unto YhwhH3068, and saidH559, We beseech theeH577, O YhwhH3068, we beseech thee, let us not perishH6 for this man’sH376 lifeH5315, and layH5414 not upon us innocentH5355 bloodH1818: for thou, O YhwhH3068, hast doneH6213 as it pleasedH2654 thee. 15So they took upH5375 JonahH3124, and cast him forthH2904 into the seaH3220: and the seaH3220 ceasedH5975 from her ragingH2197.5 16Then the menH582 fearedH3372 YhwhH3068 exceedinglyH3374H1419, and offeredH2076 a sacrificeH2077 unto YhwhH3068, and madeH5087 vowsH5088.6
