Jonah 1:14-16

Easy-to-Read Version

Jonah’s Punishment

¹⁴ So the men cried to the Lord, “Lord, please don’t say we are guilty of killing an innocent man. Please don’t make us die for killing him. We know you are the Lord, and you will do whatever you want.”

¹⁵ So the men threw Jonah into the sea. The storm stopped, and the sea became calm. ¹⁶ When the men saw this, they began to fear and respect the Lord. They offered a sacrifice and made special promises to the Lord.
