Jonah 1:11 in Context — Jonah 1

9 Y él les respondió: Hebreo soy, y temo á Jehová, Dios de los cielos, que hizo la mar y la tierra.

10 Y aquellos hombres temieron sobremanera, y dijéronle: ¿Por qué has hecho esto? Porque ellos entendieron que huía de delante de Jehová, porque se lo había declarado.

11 Y dijéronle: ¿Qué te haremos, para que la mar se nos quiete? porque la mar iba [á más], y se embravecía.

12 El les respondió: Tomadme, y echadme á la mar, y la mar se os quietará: porque yo sé que por mí ha venido esta grande tempestad sobre vosotros.

13 Y aquellos hombres trabajaron por tornar la nave á tierra; mas no pudieron, porque la mar iba [á más], y se embravecía sobre ellos.
