Jonah 1:12-15 And he said unto them, Take me up, and hurl me into the sea, that the sea may cease raging over you,––for I do know that, for my sake, is this great tempest upon you.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² And he said unto them, Take me up, and hurl me into the sea, that the sea may cease raging over you,––for I do know that, for my sake, is this great tempest upon you. ¹³ Nevertheless the men, wrought hard, to bring it back unto the land, but could not,––for, the sea, was raging over them more and more. ¹⁴ Then cried they unto Yahweh, and said, Ah now, Yahweh, pray let it not be that we perish for this man’s life, neither lay upon us innocent blood,––for, thou, O Yahweh, as thou hast pleased, hast ever done. ¹⁵ So they took up Jonah and hurled him into the sea,––and the sea, left off, her roaring.
