Jonah 1:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ And they said every one to his fellow: Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know why this evil is upon us. And they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonas.

⁸ And they said to him: Tell us for what cause this evil is upon us, what is thy business? of what country art thou? and whither goest thou? or of what people art thou?

⁹ And he said to them: I am a Hebrew, and I fear the Lord the God of heaven, who made both the sea and the dry land.
