Jonah 1:11
What shall we do unto thee - In these poor men there was an uncommon degree of humanity and tender feeling.
9 So he said to them, “I am a Hebrew; and I fear1 the Lord, the God of heaven, awho made the sea and the dry land.”
Jonah Thrown into the Sea
10 Then the men were exceedingly afraid, and said to him, “Why have you done this?” For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the Lord, because he had told them.
11 Then they said to him, “What shall we do to you that the sea may be calm for us?”—for the sea was growing more tempestuous.
12 And he said to them, a“Pick me up and throw me into the sea; then the sea will become calm for you. For I know that this great tempest is because of me.”
13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to return to land, abut they could not, for the sea continued to grow more tempestuous against them.
