Jonah 1:10-17

¹⁰Then the men were even more afraid and said to him, “What have you done?” The men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them.

¹¹Now the sea was growing worse and worse, so they said to Jonah, “What must we do to you to calm this sea for us?”

¹²“Pick me up,” he answered, “and cast me into the sea, so it may quiet down for you. For I know that I am to blame for this violent storm that has come upon you.”

¹³Nevertheless, the men rowed hard to get back to dry land, but they could not, for the sea was raging against them more and more.

¹⁴So they cried out to the LORD: “Please, O LORD, do not let us perish on account of this man’s life! Do not charge us with innocent blood! For You, O LORD, have done as You pleased.”

¹⁵At this, they picked up Jonah and cast him into the sea, and the raging sea grew calm.

¹⁶Then the men feared the LORD greatly, and they offered a sacrifice to the LORD and made vows to Him.

¹⁷Now the LORD had appointed a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah spent three days and three nights in the belly of the fish.
