Jonah 1:4-9

4But aYahweh hurled a great wind on the sea, and there was a great storm on the sea so that the ship gave thought to 1breaking apart. 5Then the sailors became fearful, and every man cried to ahis god, and they bhurled the 1cargo which was in the ship into the sea to lighten it 2for them. But Jonah had gone down below into the innermost part of the vessel, lain down, and fallen deep asleep. 6So the captain came near to him and said to him, “How is it that you are deeply sleeping? Arise, acall on your god. Perhaps your bgod will be concerned about us so that we will not perish.”
7Then each man said to the other, “Come, let us 1,ahave the lots fall so we may know on whose account this calamitous evil has struck us.” So they 2had the lots fall, and the blot fell on Jonah. 8Then they said to him, “aTell us, now! On whose account has this calamitous evil struck us? What is your boccupation? And where do you come from? What is your country? From what people are you?” 9And he said to them, “I am a aHebrew, and I bfear Yahweh, the cGod of heaven, who dmade the sea and the dry land.”
