32:001:008 Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil is upon us; What is thine occupation? and whence comest thou? what is thy country? and of what people art thou?
32:001:009 And he said unto them, I am an Hebrew; and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry land.
32:001:010 Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him. Why
hast thou done this? For the men knew that he fled from the
presence of the LORD, because he had told them.
32:001:011 Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the
sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was
tempestuous.
32:001:012 And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the
sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my
sake this great tempest is upon you.
32:001:013 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but
they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous
against them.
32:001:014 Wherefore they cried unto the LORD, and said, We beseech thee, O LORD, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O LORD, hast done as it pleased thee.
32:001:015 So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and
the sea ceased from her raging.
32:001:016 Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a
sacrifice unto the LORD, and made vows.
32:001:017 Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
