Jonah 1:13
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Nevertheless, the men rowed hard to get back to dry land, but they could not, for the sea was raging against them more and more.
In context
11 Now the sea was growing worse and worse, so they said to Jonah, “What must we do to you to calm this sea for us?”
12 “Pick me up,” he answered, “and cast me into the sea, so it may quiet down for you. For I know that I am to blame for this violent storm that has come upon you.”
13 Nevertheless, the men rowed hard to get back to dry land, but they could not, for the sea was raging against them more and more.
14 So they cried out to the LORD: “Please, O LORD, do not let us perish on account of this man’s life! Do not charge us with innocent blood! For You, O LORD, have done as You pleased.”
15 At this, they picked up Jonah and cast him into the sea, and the raging sea grew calm.
