Jonah 1:7-9

Contemporary English Version

⁷ Finally, the sailors got together and said, “Let's ask our gods to show us^[a] who caused all this trouble.” It turned out to be Jonah.

⁸ They started asking him, “Are you the one who brought all this trouble on us? What business are you in? Where do you come from? What is your country? Who are your people?”

⁹ Jonah answered, “I'm a Hebrew, and I worship the Lord God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land.”
