Jonah 1:7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ And they said to one another, “Come, and let us cast lots, so that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. So, they cast lots. And the lot fell upon Jonah.

⁸ Then they said to him, “Tell us for whose cause this evil is upon us? What is your occupation? And from where do you come? Which is your country? And of what people are you?”

⁹ And he answered them, “I am a Hebrew. And I fear the LORD God of Heaven, Who has made the sea and the dry land.”
