Jonah 1:12-14

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹² He said to them, “Pick me up and throw me into the sea. Then the sea will calm down for you, for I know that this violent storm striking against you has come about because of me.”

¹³ Instead, the men rowed hard to return the ship to dry land, but they could not, because the storm on the sea kept getting worse for them. ¹⁴ So they cried out to the Lord and said, “Please, Lord, please do not let us perish because of this man’s life, and do not charge innocent blood against us, for you, Lord, have done as you pleased.”
