calamity that is upon us.” So they cast lots, and the lot fell on
Jonah.
Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil is upon us; What is thine occupation? and whence comest thou? what is thy country? and of what people art thou?
“Tell us now,” they demanded, “who is to
blame for this
calamity that is upon us? What is your occupation, and where have you come from? What is your country, and who are your people?”
Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be
calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was
tempestuous.
Now the sea was growing worse and worse, so they said to
Jonah, “What must we do to you to
calm this sea for us?”
And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be
calm unto you: for I know that for my sake this great
tempest is upon you.
“
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.”
So they took up
Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her
raging.
At this, they
picked up
Jonah and cast him into the sea, and the
raging sea grew
calm.
