So they cast[H8686] H1486lotsH1486, and the lotH5307fell[H8799] H3124upon Jonah. 8 H559Then said[H8799] H5046they unto him, Tell[H8685] H7451us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evilH4399is upon us; What is thine occupationH370? and whenceH935comest[H8799] H776thou? what is thy countryH5971? and of what people art thou? 9 H559And he said[H8799] H5680unto them, I am an HebrewH3373; and I fearH3068the LORDH430, the GodH8064of heavenH6213, which hath made[H8804] H3220the seaH3004and the dry land . 10 H582Then were the menH1419exceedinglyH3374 H3372afraid[H8799] H559, and said[H8799] H6213unto him, Why hast thou done[H8804] H582this? For the menH3045knew[H8804] H1272that he fled[H8802] H6440from the presenceH3068of the LORDH5046, because he had told[H8689] them. 11 H559Then said[H8799] H6213they unto him, What shall we do[H8799] H3220unto thee, that the seaH8367may be calm[H8799] H3220unto us? for the seaH1980wrought[H8802] H5590, and was tempestuous[H8802] . 12 H559And he said[H8799] H5375unto them, Take me up[H8798] H2904, and cast me forth[H8685] H3220into the seaH3220; so shall the seaH8367be calm[H8799] H3045unto you: for I know[H8802] H7945that for my sakeH1419this greatH5591tempest is upon you. 13 H582Nevertheless the menH2864rowed hard[H8799] H7725to bring[H8687] H3004it to the landH3201; but they could[H8804] H3220not: for the seaH1980wrought[H8802] H5590, and was tempestuous[H8802] against them. 14 H7121Wherefore they cried[H8799] H3068unto the LORDH559, and said[H8799] H577, We beseech theeH3068, O LORDH6, we beseech thee, let us not perish[H8799] H376for this man'sH5315lifeH5414, and lay[H8799] H5355not upon us innocent[H8675] H5355 H1818bloodH3068: for thou, O LORDH6213, hast done[H8804] H2654as it pleased[H8804] thee. 15 H5375So they took up[H8799] H3124JonahH2904, and cast him forth[H8686] H3220into the seaH3220: and the seaH5975ceased[H8799] H2197from her raging. 16 H582Then the menH3372feared[H8799] H3068the LORDH1419exceedinglyH3374 H2076, and offered[H8799] H2077a sacrificeH3068unto the LORDH5087, and made[H8799] H5088vows. 17 H3068Now the LORDH4487had prepared[H8762] H1419a greatH1709fishH1104to swallow up[H8800] H3124JonahH3124.
