Jonah 1:9

And he said unto them, I [am] an Hebrew; and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry [land].

And he said {H559} unto them, I am an Hebrew {H5680}; and I fear {H3373} the LORD {H3068}, the God {H430} of heaven {H8064}, which hath made {H6213} the sea {H3220} and the dry {H3004} land.

He answered them, "I am a Hebrew; and I fear ADONAI, the God of heaven, who made both the sea and the dry land."

“I am a Hebrew,” replied Jonah. “I worship the LORD, the God of the heavens, who made the sea and the dry land.”

And he said unto them, I am a Hebrew; and I fear Jehovah, the God of heaven, who hath made the sea and the dry land.
