Jonah 1:5-7

Revised Geneva Translation

⁵ Then the mariners were afraid; and every man cried to his god and cast the wares that were in the ship, into the sea, to lighten it of them. But Jonah had gone down into the sides of the ship. And he lay down and was fast asleep.

⁶ So the shipmaster came to him, and said to him, “What do you mean, O sleeper? Arise! Call upon your God! Perhaps God will think upon us, so that we do not perish!”

⁷ And they said to one another, “Come, and let us cast lots, so that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. So, they cast lots. And the lot fell upon Jonah.
