11 They said to him, "What will we do about you so that the sea will become calm around us?" (The sea was continuing to rage.)
12 He said to them, "Pick me up and hurl me into the sea! Then the sea will become calm around you. I know it’s my fault that this great storm has come upon you."
13 The men rowed to reach dry land, but they couldn’t manage it because the sea continued to rage against them.
14 So they called on the Lord, saying, "Please, Lord, don’t let us perish on account of this man’s life, and don’t blame us for innocent blood! You are the Lord: whatever you want, you can do."
15 Then they picked up Jonah and hurled him into the sea, and the sea ceased its raging.
16 The men worshipped the Lord with a profound reverence; they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made solemn promises.
17 Meanwhile, the Lord provided a great fish to swallow Jonah. Jonah was in the belly of the fish for three days and three nights.
