Jonah 1:11-13

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹¹ The storm was getting worse. So they asked Jonah, “What should we do with you to calm the sea?”

¹² He told them, “Throw me overboard. Then the sea will become calm. I know that I’m responsible for this violent storm.”

¹³ Instead, the men tried to row harder to get the ship back to shore, but they couldn’t do it. The storm was getting worse.
