Jonah 1:12-14

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹² And he said to them: Take me up, and cast me into the sea, and the sea shall be calm to you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.

¹³ And the men rowed hard to return to land, but they were not able: because the sea tossed and swelled upon them.

¹⁴ And they cried to the Lord, and said: We beseech thee, O Lord, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O Lord, hast done as it pleased thee.
