Jonah 1:7-9
New King James Version
7 And they said to one another, “Come, let us (A)cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this trouble has come upon us.” So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah. 8 Then they said to him, (B)“Please tell us! For whose cause is this trouble upon us? What is your occupation? And where do you come from? What is your country? And of what people are you?”
9 So he said to them, “I am a Hebrew; and I fear [a]the Lord, the God of heaven, (C)who made the sea and the dry land.”
