Jonah 1:13-15 ▼

13 However, the men rowed desperately to return to dry land, but they could not, for the sea was becoming increasingly stormy against them.

14 Then they called on Yahweh and said, “Ah! O Yahweh, we earnestly pray, do not let us perish on account of this man’s life, and do not put innocent blood on us; for You, O Yahweh, as You have pleased You have done.”

15 So they lifted Jonah up and hurled him into the sea, and the sea stood still from its raging.
