Jonah 1:9-13 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

9. And he saith unto them, `A Hebrew I [am], and Jehovah, God of the heavens, I am reverencing, who made the sea and the dry land.'

10. And the men fear a great fear, and say unto him, `What [is] this thou hast done!' for the men have known that from the face of Jehovah he is fleeing, for he hath told them.

11. And they say unto him, `What do we do to thee that the sea may cease from us, for the sea is more and more tempestuous?'

12. And he saith unto them, `Lift me up, and cast me into the sea, and the sea doth cease from you; for I know that on my account this great tempest [is] upon you.'

13. And the men row to turn back unto the dry land, and are not able, for the sea is more and more tempestuous against them.
