Jonah 1:4-9
Legacy Standard Bible
4 But (A)Yahweh hurled a great wind on the sea, and there was a great storm on the sea so that the ship gave thought to [a]breaking apart. 5 Then the sailors became fearful, and every man cried to (B)his god, and they (C)hurled the [b]cargo which was in the ship into the sea to lighten it [c]for them. But Jonah had gone down below into the innermost part of the vessel, lain down, and fallen deep asleep. 6 So the captain came near to him and said to him, “How is it that you are deeply sleeping? Arise, (D)call on your god. Perhaps your (E)god will be concerned about us so that we will not perish.”
7 Then each man said to the other, “Come, let us [d](F)have the lots fall so we may know on whose account this calamitous evil has struck us.” So they [e]had the lots fall, and the (G)lot fell on Jonah. 8 Then they said to him, “(H)Tell us, now! On whose account has this calamitous evil struck us? What is your (I)occupation? And where do you come from? What is your country? From what people are you?” 9 And he said to them, “I am a (J)Hebrew, and I (K)fear Yahweh, the (L)God of heaven, who (M)made the sea and the dry land.”

Jonah 1:4-9
Revised Standard Version
4 But the Lord hurled a great wind upon the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea, so that the ship threatened to break up. 5 Then the mariners were afraid, and each cried to his god; and they threw the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it for them. But Jonah had gone down into the inner part of the ship and had lain down, and was fast asleep. 6 So the captain came and said to him, “What do you mean, you sleeper? Arise, call upon your god! Perhaps the god will give a thought to us, that we do not perish.”
7 And they said to one another, “Come, let us cast lots, that we may know on whose account this evil has come upon us.” So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah. 8 Then they said to him, “Tell us on whose account this evil has come upon us. What is your occupation? And whence do you come? What is your country? And of what people are you?” 9 And he said to them, “I am a Hebrew; and I fear the Lord, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land.”
