Jonah 1:10-12

New Catholic Bible

¹⁰ On hearing this, the sailors were even more terrified, and they said to him, “How could you have done this to us?” For they knew that he was fleeing from the Lord because he had told them so. ¹¹ Then they said, “What shall we do with you to make the sea calm down for us?” For the sea was becoming increasingly more turbulent. ¹² Jonah replied, “Pick me up and throw me overboard. Then the sea will calm down for you. I know it is my fault that this great storm has struck you.”
