Jonah 1:12-17

12And he saidH559 unto them, TakeH5375 meH413 upH5375, and castH2904 meH413 forthH3045 intoH413 the seaH3220; soH5375 shall the seaH3220 be calmH8367 unto youH3588: for I knowH3045 that for my sakeH5921 this greatH1419 tempestH5591 is uponH5921 youH3588. 13NeverthelessH3588 the menH376 rowedH2864 hard to getH1980 them backH7725 to the landH3004; but they couldH3201 notH3808: for the seaH3220 grewH1980 moreH3808 and moreH3808 tempestuous againstH5921 them. 14Wherefore they criedH7121 unto the LORDH3068, and saidH559, WeH3588 beseechH577 thee, O LORDH3068, weH3588 beseechH577 thee, letH4994 usH5414 notH408 perishH6 for this man’sH376 lifeH5315, and layH5414 notH408 uponH5921 usH5414 innocentH5355 bloodH1818: for thou, O LORDH3068, hast doneH6213 as it pleasedH2654 thee. 15SoH5375 they tookH5375 upH5375 JonahH3124, and castH2904 him forthH5375 intoH413 the seaH3220: and the seaH3220 ceased from herH413 ragingH2197. 16Then the menH376 fearedH3372 the LORDH3068 exceedinglyH1419; and they offeredH2076 a sacrificeH2077 unto the LORDH3068, and madeH5087 vowsH5088. 17And the LORD prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah; and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
