Jonah 1:12-14

Revised Geneva Translation

¹² And he said to them, “Take me; and cast me into the sea! So shall the sea be calm to you! For I know it is for my sake that this great tempest is upon you!”

¹³ Nevertheless, the men rowed to bring it to the land. But they could not. For the tempest in the sea continued.

¹⁴ Therefore, they cried to the LORD, and said, “We beg You, O LORD! We beg You! Let us not perish for this man’s life! And do not lay innocent blood upon us! For You, O LORD, have done as it pleased You!”
