Jonah 1:13 in Context — Jonah 1

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.

15 Então tomaram a Jonas, e o lançaram ao mar; e o mar se aquietou de seu furor.
