13 And the men rowed hard to return to land, but they were not able: because the sea tossed and swelled upon them. 14 And they cried to the Lord, and said: We beseech thee, O Lord, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O Lord, hast done as it pleased thee. 15 And they took Jonas, and cast him into the sea, and the sea ceased from raging. 16 And the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and sacrificed victims to the Lord, and made vows. 17 Now the Lord prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonas: and Jonas was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
