Jonah 1:12-14

Common English Bible

¹² He said to them, “Pick me up and hurl me into the sea! Then the sea will become calm around you. I know it’s my fault that this great storm has come upon you.”

¹³ The men rowed to reach dry land, but they couldn’t manage it because the sea continued to rage against them. ¹⁴ So they called on the Lord, saying, “Please, Lord, don’t let us perish on account of this man’s life, and don’t blame us for innocent blood! You are the Lord: whatever you want, you can do.”
