Jonah 1:11-13

International Standard Version

Jonah is Thrown Overboard

¹¹ Because the sea was growing more and more stormy, they asked him, “What do we have to do to you so the sea will calm down for us?”

¹² Jonah^[a] told them, “Pick me up and toss me into the sea. Then the sea will calm down for you, because I know that it’s my fault that this mighty storm has come^[b] upon you.” ¹³ Even so, the crewmen rowed hard to bring the ship toward dry land, but they were unsuccessful, because the sea was growing more and more stormy.
