    1 Now the word of Yahweh came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,

    2 "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach against it, for their wickedness has come up before me."

    3 But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of Yahweh. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid its fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of Yahweh.

    9 He said to them, "I am a Hebrew, and I fear Yahweh, the God of heaven, who has made the sea and the dry land."

    10 Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said to him, "What is this that you have done?" For the men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of Yahweh, because he had told them.

    11 Then they said to him, "What shall we do to you, that the sea may be calm to us?" For the sea grew more and more stormy.

    12 He said to them, "Take me up, and throw me into the sea. Then the sea will be calm for you; for I know that because of me this great storm is on you."
