Jonah 1:12 in Context — Jonah 1
10 Então aqueles homens tiveram um grande medo, e lhe disseram: Por que fizeste isto? Pois aqueles homens sabiam que ele estava fugindo do SENHOR, porque ele já havia lhes dito.
11 Então lhe disseram: O que faremos contigo, para que o mar se nos aquiete?Porque o mar cada vez mais se embravecia.
12 E ele lhes respondeu: Tomai-me, e lançai-me ao mar, e o mar se vos aquietará; porque eu sei que foi por minha causa que esta grande tempestade [veio] sobre vós.
13 Mas os homens se esforçavam para remar, tentando voltar à terra firme; porém não conseguiam, porque o mar cada vez mais se embravecia sobre eles.
14 Então clamaram ao SENHOR, e disseram: Ó SENHOR, nós te pedimos para não perecermos por causa da alma deste homem, nem ponhas sangue inocente sobre nós; porque, tu, SENHOR, fizeste como te agradou.
