Jonah 1:5-7

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁵ Then the sailors became afraid and every man cried to ^(A)his god, and they ^(B)threw the ^[a]cargo which was in the ship into the sea to lighten it ^[b]for them. But Jonah had gone below into the hold of the ship, lain down and fallen sound asleep. ⁶ So the captain approached him and said, “How is it that you are sleeping? Get up, ^(C)call on your god. Perhaps your ^(D)god will be concerned about us so that we will not perish.”

⁷ Each man said to his mate, “Come, let us ^(E)cast lots so we may ^[c]learn on whose account this calamity has struck us.” So they cast lots and the ^(F)lot fell on Jonah.
