Jonah 1:13-15
World English Bible
13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to get them back to the land; but they could not, for the sea grew more and more stormy against them. 14 Therefore they cried to Yahweh, and said, “We beg you, Yahweh, we beg you, don’t let us die for this man’s life, and don’t lay on us innocent blood; for you, Yahweh, have done as it pleased you.” 15 So they took up Jonah and threw him into the sea; and the sea ceased its raging.

O Yahweh, we earnestly pray, do not let us perish on account of this man’s life, and do not put innocent blood on us; for (B)You, O Yahweh, as You have pleased You have done.”
15 So they lifted Jonah up and hurled him into the sea, and the sea (C)stood still from its raging.
