Jonah 1:9-11

Contemporary English Version

⁹ Jonah answered, “I'm a Hebrew, and I worship the Lord God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land.”

¹⁰ When the sailors heard this, they were frightened, because Jonah had already told them he was running from the Lord. Then they said, “Do you know what you have done?”

¹¹ The storm kept getting worse, until finally the sailors asked him, “What should we do with you to make the sea calm down?”
