Jonah 1:5-7

Amplified Bible

⁵ Then the sailors were afraid, and each man cried out to his god; and to lighten the ship [and diminish the danger] they threw the ship’s cargo into the sea. But Jonah had gone below into the hold of the ship and had lain down and was sound asleep. ⁶ So the captain came up to him and said, “How can you stay asleep? Get up! Call on your god! Perhaps your god will give a thought to us so that we will not perish.”

⁷ And they said to another, “Come, ^[a]let us cast lots, so we may learn who is to blame for this disaster.” So they cast lots and the lot fell on Jonah.
