14. So they cried out to the Lord, “O Lord, we pray, don't punish us with death for taking this man's life! You, O Lord, are responsible for all this; it is your doing.”
15. Then they picked Jonah up and threw him into the sea, and it calmed down at once.
16. This made the sailors so afraid of the Lord that they offered a sacrifice and promised to serve him.
17. At the Lord's command a large fish swallowed Jonah, and he was inside the fish for three days and nights.
