Jonah and the Sailors

<p>‘And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.<br> …<br> ‘So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging.<br> ‘Then the men feared the Lᴏʀᴅ exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the Lᴏʀᴅ, and made vows.’<br> <em>—Jonah 1:12, 15, 16</em></p>
