Jonah 1:4-7
New International Version
4 Then the Lord sent a great wind on the sea, and such a violent storm arose that the ship threatened to break up.(A) 5 All the sailors were afraid and each cried out to his own god. And they threw the cargo into the sea to lighten the ship.(B)
But Jonah had gone below deck, where he lay down and fell into a deep sleep. 6 The captain went to him and said, “How can you sleep? Get up and call(C) on your god! Maybe he will take notice of us so that we will not perish.”(D)
7 Then the sailors said to each other, “Come, let us cast lots to find out who is responsible for this calamity.”(E) They cast lots and the lot fell on Jonah.(F)

King James Version
Jonah 1:4-7
King James Version
4 But the Lord sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.
5 Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god, and cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it of them. But Jonah was gone down into the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.
6 So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not.
7 And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.
