Expanded Bible

Jonah’s Punishment

¹⁴ So the men cried to the Lord, “Lord, please don’t let us die because of this man’s life; please don’t ·think we are [hold us] guilty of ·killing an innocent person [^Linnocent blood]. Lord, you have caused all this to happen; you wanted it this way.” ¹⁵ So they picked up Jonah and threw him into the sea, and the sea ·became calm [ceased raging]. ¹⁶ Then they began to fear the Lord very much; they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made ·promises [vows] to him.
