Jonah 1:12-17

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.12 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 ragingH2197.3 16Then the menH582 fearedH3372 the LORDH3068 exceedinglyH1419H3374, and offeredH2076 a sacrificeH2077 to the LORDH3068, and madeH5087 vowsH5088.4 17Now the LORDH3068 had preparedH4487 a greatH1419 fishH1709 to swallow upH1104 JonahH3124. And JonahH3124 was in the bellyH4578 of the fishH1709 threeH7969 daysH3117 and threeH7969 nightsH3915.5
