Jonah 1:12-14
Lexham English Bible
12 And he said to them, “Pick me up and hurl me into the sea so that the sea may quiet down for you, because I know that on account of me this great storm has come upon you all.” 13 But the men rowed hard to bring the ship[a] back to the dry land, and they could not do so because the sea was growing more and more tempestuous[b] against them. 14 So they cried out to Yahweh, and they said, “O Yahweh! Please do not let us perish because of this man’s life, and do not make us guilty of innocent blood,[c] because you, O Yahweh, did what you wanted.”
