Jonah 1:11-13

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

¹¹ So they said to him, ‘What should we do to you so that the sea will calm down for us? ’ For the sea was getting worse and worse.

¹² He answered them, ‘Pick me up and throw me into the sea so that it will calm down for you, for I know that I’m to blame^(A) for this great storm that is against you.’ ¹³ Nevertheless, the men rowed hard to get back to dry land, but they couldn’t because the sea was raging against them more and more.
