Jonah 1:10-12

New International Reader's Version

¹⁰ They found out he was running away from the Lord. That’s because he had told them. Then they became terrified. So they asked him, “How could you do a thing like that?”

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.”
