Jonah 1:13-15

Modern English Version

¹³ Nevertheless, the men rowed hard to bring the ship to land, but they could not do it, for the sea grew more tempestuous against them. ¹⁴ Then they cried to the Lord and said, “Please, Lord, do not let us perish for this man’s life, and do not make us guilty for innocent blood, for You, Lord, have done as it pleased You.” ¹⁵ So they picked up Jonah and tossed him into the sea. Then the sea ceased from its raging.
