Jonah 1:11-16
11Then saidH559 they to him, What shall we doH6213 to thee, that the seaH3220 may be calmH8367 to us? for the seaH3220 ragedH1980, and was tempestuousH5590.12 12And he saidH559 to them, Take meH5375, and cast meH2904 into the seaH3220; so shall the seaH3220 be calmH8367 to 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 ragedH1980, and was tempestuousH5590 against them.34 14Therefore they criedH7121 to the LORDH3068, and saidH559, We beseech theeH577, O LORDH3068, we beseech thee, let us not perishH6 for this man’sH376 lifeH5315, and layH5414 not upon us innocentH5355 bloodH1818: for thou, O LORDH3068, hast doneH6213 as it pleasedH2654 thee. 15So they tookH5375 JonahH3124, and cast himH2904 into the seaH3220: and the seaH3220 ceasedH5975 from her ragingH2197.5 16Then the menH582 fearedH3372 the LORDH3068 exceedinglyH1419H3374, and offeredH2076 a sacrificeH2077 to the LORDH3068, and madeH5087 vowsH5088.6
