Jonah 1:5
All the sailors were afraid and each cried out to his own
god. . . .
(7) Then the sailors said to each other,
�Come, let us cast lots to find out who is responsible for this calamity.�
They cast lots and the lot fell on Jonah.
(8) So they asked him, �Tell us, who is
responsible for making all this trouble for us? What do you do? Where
do you come from? What is your country? From what people are you?�
(9) He answered, �I am a Hebrew and I
worship the LORD, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the land.�
(10) This terrified them and they asked,
�What have you done?� (They knew he was running away from the LORD,
because he had already told them so.) . . .
(16) At this the men greatly feared the
LORD, and they offered a sacrifice to the LORD and made vows to him.
