Jonah 1:14-16

New Century Version

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 guilty of killing an innocent person. 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. ¹⁶ Then they began to fear the Lord very much; they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made promises to him.
