    4But the Lord hurled a great wind upon the sea, and there was a mighty storm on the sea, so that the ship was about to break apart.

    5The sailors were afraid, and each cried out to his own god. They threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea to lighten it for them. But Jonah had gone down to the inner part of the ship and had lain down and was fast asleep.

    6The captain came to him and said, "What are you doing, sound asleep? Get up, call on your god! Perhaps your god will consider us, so that we will not perish."

    7And they said to one another, "Come, let us cast lots to find out who is responsible for this calamity that has come upon us." So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.
