Jonah:1:12-15

*
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 .
*
Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land ;
but they could not :
for the sea wrought ,
and was tempestuous against them .
*
Wherefore they cried unto the LORD ,
and said ,
We beseech thee ,
O LORD ,
we beseech thee ,
let us not perish for this mans life ,
and lay not upon us innocent blood :
for thou ,
O LORD ,
hast done as it pleased thee .
*
So they took up Jonah ,
and cast him forth into the sea :
and the sea ceased from her raging za #
