Jonah 1:12-15

KJ2000(i) 12 And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm for you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you. 13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they could not: for the sea raged, and was tempestuous against them. 14 Therefore they cried unto the LORD, and said, We beseech you, O LORD, we beseech you, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for you, O LORD, have done as it pleased you. 15 So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from its raging.
