Jonah 1:11-13

New International Reader's Version

¹¹ The sea was getting rougher and rougher. So they asked him, “What should we do to you to make the sea calm down?”

¹² “Pick me up and throw me into the sea,” he replied. “Then it will become calm. I know it’s my fault that this terrible storm has come on you.”

¹³ But the men didn’t do what he said. Instead, they did their best to row back to land. But they couldn’t. The sea got even rougher than before.
