Jonah 1:6 in Context — Jonah 1

4 Mas o SENHOR fez levantar um grande vento no mar; e fez-se uma tempestade tão grande no mar, que o navio estava a ponto de se quebrar.

5 Então os marinheiros tiveram medo, e cada um clamava a seu deus; e lançaram no mar os objetos que havia no navio, para com eles diminuir o peso. Jonas, porém, havia descido ao interior do navio, e se pôs a dormir profundamente.

6 E o capitão do navio se aproximou dele, e lhe disse: Que há contigo, dorminhoco? Levanta-te, e clama a teu deus; talvez ele se lembre de nós, para que não pereçamos.

7 E disseram cada um a seu companheiro: Vinde, e lancemos sortes, para sabermos por causa de quem este mal [veio] sobre nós. Então lançaram sortes, e a sorte caiu sobre Jonas.

8 Então eles lhe disseram: Conta-nos, por favor, por que nos este mal nos [veio] . Qual é a tua profissão, e de onde vens? Qual é a tua terra, e de que povo és?
