Jonah 1:13-16

13Nevertheless the menH582 rowed hardH2864 to bringH7725 it to the landH3004; but they couldH3201 not: for the seaH3220 wroughtH1980, and was tempestuousH5590 against them.12

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 ragingH2197.3

16Then the menH582 fearedH3372 YhwhH3068 exceedinglyH3374H1419, and offeredH2076 a sacrificeH2077 unto YhwhH3068, and madeH5087 vowsH5088.4
