Jonah 1:11-16
11 And they said to him, “What shall we do to you so that the sea will quieten down from on us?” For the sea was growing and storming.
12 And he said to them, “Lift me up and throw me into the sea and the sea will quieten down from on you because I know that on account of me this great storm is upon you.”
13 And the men rowed to bring back to the dry land and they were not able to because the sea was growing and storming upon them. 14 And they called to YHWH and they said, “Please YHWH please do not let us perish by the life of this man and you must not put on us innocent blood, for you YHWH, as you pleased you have done.” 15 And they lifted Jonah up and threw him into the sea and the sea stood still from its rage. 16 And the men feared YHWH with a great fear and they sacrificed a sacrifice to YHWH and they vowed vows.
