Jonah 1:9-11
New American Standard Bible
9 So he said to them, “I am a (A)Hebrew, and I (B)fear the Lord (C)God of heaven who (D)made the sea and the dry land.”
10 Then the men became extremely afraid, and they said to him, “[a]How could you do this?” For the men knew that he was (E)fleeing from the presence of the Lord, because he had told them. 11 So they said to him, “What should we do to you so that the sea will become calm [b]for us?”—for the sea was becoming increasingly stormy.

Jonah 1:9-11
New International Version
9 He answered, “I am a Hebrew and I worship the Lord,(A) the God of heaven,(B) who made the sea(C) and the dry land.(D)”
10 This terrified them and they asked, “What have you done?” (They knew he was running away from the Lord, because he had already told them so.)
11 The sea was getting rougher and rougher. So they asked him, “What should we do to you to make the sea calm down for us?”
