Jonah 1:10-12

Contemporary English Version

¹⁰ When the sailors heard this, they were frightened, because Jonah had already told them he was running from the Lord. Then they said, “Do you know what you have done?”

¹¹ The storm kept getting worse, until finally the sailors asked him, “What should we do with you to make the sea calm down?”

¹² Jonah told them, “Throw me into the sea, and it will calm down. I'm the cause of this terrible storm.”
