Jonah 1:13 BBE

¹¹  And they said to him, What are we to do to you so that the sea may become calm for us? For the sea was getting rougher and rougher.

¹²  And he said to them, Take me up and put me into the sea, and the sea will become calm for you: for I am certain that because of me this great storm has come on you.

¹³  And the men were working hard to get back to the land, but they were not able to do so: for the sea got rougher and rougher against them.

¹⁴  So, crying to the Lord, they said, Give ear to our prayer, O Lord, give ear, and do not let destruction overtake us because of this man's life; do not put on us the sin of taking life without cause: for you, O Lord, have done what seemed good to you.

¹⁵  So they took Jonah up and put him into the sea: and the sea was no longer angry.
