Jonah 1:13 WEB

¹¹  Then said they to him, 'What shall we do to you, that the sea may be calm to us?' For the sea grew more and more tempestuous.

¹²  He said to them, 'Take me up, and throw me into the sea. Then the sea will be calm for you; for I know that because of me this great tempest is on you.'

¹³  Nevertheless the men rowed hard to get them back to the land; but they could not, for the sea grew more and more tempestuous against them.

¹⁴  Therefore they cried to Yahweh, and said, 'We beg you, Yahweh, we beg you, let us not perish for this man's life, and don't lay on us innocent blood; for you, Yahweh, have done as it pleased you.'

¹⁵  So they took up Jonah, and threw him into the sea; and the sea ceased its raging.
