Jonah 1:8-10

Common English Bible

⁸ So they said to him, “Tell us, since you’re the cause of this evil happening to us: What do you do and where are you from? What’s your country and of what people are you?”

⁹ He said to them, “I’m a Hebrew. I worship the Lord, the God of heaven—who made the sea and the dry land.”

¹⁰ Then the men were terrified and said to him, “What have you done?” (The men knew that Jonah was fleeing from the Lord, because he had told them.)
