He said to them,“I am a Hebrew! And I worship the LORD, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land.”
Hearing this, the men became even more afraid and said to him,“What have you done?”(The men said this because they knew that he was trying to escape from the LORD, because he had previously told them.)
Because the storm was growing worse and worse, they said to him,“What should we do to you so that the sea will calm down for us?”
He said to them,“Pick me up and throw me into the sea so that the sea will calm down for you, because I know it’s my fault you are in this severe storm.”

So they cried out to the LORD,“Oh, please, LORD, don’t let us die on account of this man! Don’t hold us guilty of shedding innocent blood. After all, you, LORD, have done just as you pleased.”
So they picked Jonah up and threw him into the sea, and the sea stopped raging.
