and on the third [day] with our own hands the tackling of the ship we cast out,
And the Adversary answereth Jehovah and saith, ‘A skin for a skin, and all that a man hath he doth give for his life.
A time to seek, And a time to destroy. A time to keep, And a time to cast away.
and the mariners are afraid, and cry each unto his god, and cast the goods that [are] in the ship into the sea, to make [it] light of them; and Jonah hath gone down unto the sides of the vessel, and he lieth down, and is fast asleep.
And we, being exceedingly tempest-tossed, the succeeding [day] they were making a clearing,
and neither sun nor stars appearing for more days, and not a little tempest lying upon us, thenceforth all hope was taken away of our being saved.
