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.

14 Entonces clamaron á Jehová, y dijeron: Rogámoste ahora, Jehová, que no perezcamos nosotros por la vida de aqueste hombre, ni pongas sobre nosotros la sangre inocente: porque tú, Jehová, has hecho como has querido.

15 Y tomaron á Jonás, y echáronlo á la mar; y la mar se quietó de su furia.
