Jonah 1:5-7
New King James Version
5 Then the mariners were afraid; and every man cried out to his god, and threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea, to lighten [a]the load. But Jonah had gone down (A)into the lowest parts of the ship, had lain down, and was fast asleep.
6 So the captain came to him, and said to him, “What do you mean, sleeper? Arise, (B)call on your God; (C)perhaps your God will consider us, so that we may not perish.”
7 And they said to one another, “Come, let us (D)cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this trouble has come upon us.” So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.
