Jonah 1:9 in Context — Jonah 1

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?

9 E ele lhes respondeu: Sou hebreu, e temo ao SENHOR, o Deus dos céu, que fez o mar e a terra.

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.
