Jonah 1:13-17
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.
