Jonah 1:5-11
5Then the marinersH4419 were afraidH3372, and criedH2199 every manH376 unto his godH430, and cast forthH2904 the waresH3627 that were in the shipH591 into the seaH3220, to lightenH7043 it of them. But JonahH3124 was gone downH3381 into the sidesH3411 of the shipH5600; and he layH7901, and was fast asleepH7290. 6So the shipmasterH2259H7227 cameH7126 to him, and saidH559 unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeperH7290? ariseH6965, callH7121 upon thy GodH430, if so be that GodH430 will thinkH6245 upon us, that we perishH6 not. 7And they saidH559 every oneH376 to his fellowH7453, ComeH3212, and let us castH5307 lotsH1486, that we may knowH3045 for whose causeH7945 this evilH7451 is upon us. So they castH5307 lotsH1486, and the lotH1486 fellH5307 upon JonahH3124. 8Then saidH559 they unto him, TellH5046 us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evilH7451 is upon us; What is thine occupationH4399? and whenceH370 comestH935 thou? what is thy countryH776? and of what peopleH5971 art thou? 9And he saidH559 unto them, I am an HebrewH5680; and I fearH3373 YhwhH3068, the GodH430 of heavenH8064, which hath madeH6213 the seaH3220 and the dryH3004 land.1 10Then were the menH582 exceedinglyH3374H1419 afraidH3372, and saidH559 unto him, Why hast thou doneH6213 this? For the menH582 knewH3045 that he fledH1272 from the presenceH6440 of YhwhH3068, because he had toldH5046 them.2
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 tempestuousH5590.34
