Jonah 1:4-10

4But the LORDH3068 sent outH2904 a greatH1419 windH7307 into the seaH3220, and there was a mightyH1419 tempestH5591 in the seaH3220, so that the shipH591 was in dangerH2803 of being brokenH7665.12 5Then the marinersH4419 were afraidH3372, and criedH2199 every manH376 to his godH430, and castH2904 the waresH3627 that were in the shipH591 into the seaH3220, to lightenH7043 it of them. But JonahH3124 had gone downH3381 into the sidesH3411 of the shipH5600; and he layH7901, and was fast asleepH7290. 6So the shipmasterH7227H2259 cameH7126 to him, and saidH559 to him, What meanest thou, O sleeperH7290? ariseH6965, callH7121 upon thy GodH430, it may be that GodH430 will thinkH6245 upon us, that we perishH6 not. 7And they saidH559 every oneH376 to anotherH7453, 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 to him, TellH5046 us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evilH7451 is upon us; What is thy occupationH4399? and from whereH370 comestH935 thou? what is thy countryH776? and of what peopleH5971 art thou? 9And he saidH559 to them, I am an HebrewH5680; and I fearH3373 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of heavenH8064, who hath madeH6213 the seaH3220 and the dryH3004 land .3 10Then were the menH582 exceedinglyH1419H3374 afraidH3372, and saidH559 to him, Why hast thou doneH6213 this? For the menH582 knewH3045 that he fledH1272 from the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068, because he had toldH5046 them.4
