Jonah 1:7-9

New American Standard Bible

⁷ And each man said to his mate, “Come, let’s ^(A)cast lots so that we may ^[a]find out on whose account this catastrophe has struck us.” So they cast lots, and the ^(B)lot fell on Jonah. ⁸ Then they said to him, “^(C)Tell us, now! On whose account has this catastrophe struck us? What is your ^(D)occupation, and where do you come from? What is your country, and from what people are you?” ⁹ So he said to them, “I am a ^(E)Hebrew, and I ^(F)fear the Lord ^(G)God of heaven who ^(H)made the sea and the dry land.”
