Jonah 1:12-16 And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you; for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.

EJ2000⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you; for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you. ¹³ Nevertheless the men rowed hard to turn the ship to land, but they could not; for the sea rose higher and was wroth against them. ¹⁴ And they cried unto the LORD and said, We beseech thee, O LORD, we beseech thee, let us not perish for the soul of this man, and do not lay upon us innocent blood: for thou, O LORD, hast done as it pleased thee. ¹⁵ So they took up Jonah and cast him forth into the sea; and the sea ceased from her raging. ¹⁶ Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly and offered a sacrifice unto the LORD and made vows.
