Strongs On/Off
Context
1:12 He said to them, “Pick me up and throw me into the sea to make the sea quiet down , because I know it’s my fault you are in this severe storm .”
1:13 Instead, they tried to row back to land , but they were not able to do so because the storm kept growing worse and worse.
1:14 So they cried out to the Lord , “Oh, please , Lord , don’t let us die on account of this man ! Don’t hold us guilty of shedding innocent blood . After all, you , Lord , have done just as you pleased .”
1:15 So they picked Jonah up and threw him into the sea , and the sea stopped raging .
1:16 The men feared the Lord greatly , and earnestly vowed to offer lavish sacrifices to the Lord .
Jonah Prays
1:17 The Lord sent a huge fish to swallow Jonah , and Jonah was in the stomach of the fish three days and three nights .
