Jonah 1:10-12

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁰ Then the men became extremely frightened and they said to him, “^[a]How could you do this?” For the men knew that he was ^(A)fleeing from the presence of the Lord, because he had told them. ¹¹ So they said to him, “What should we do to you that the sea may become calm ^[b]for us?”—for the sea was becoming increasingly stormy. ¹² He said to them, “Pick me up and throw me into the sea. Then the sea will become calm ^[c]for you, for I know that ^(B)on account of me this great storm has come upon you.”
