Jonah Is Cast into the Sea

Jonah 1:11-16

And they said to him: What shall we do with thee, that the sea may be calm to us? for the sea flowed and swelled.

And he said to them: take me up, and cast me into the sea, and the sea shall be calm to you: for I know for my sake this great tempest is upon you.

And the men rowed hard to return the land, but they were not able: because the sea tossed and swelled upon them.

And they cried to the Lord, and said: We beseech thee, O Lord let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, oh Lord, hast done as it pleased thee.

And they took Jonah, and cast him into the sea, and the sea ceased from raging.

And the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and sacrificed victims to the Lord, and made vows.
