Jonah 1:11-13
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 1

11So they said to him, 'What should we do to you so that the sea will become calm for us?'—for the sea was becoming increasingly stormy. 12And he said to them, 'Pick me up and hurl me into the sea. Then the sea will become calm for you, because I know that on account of me this great storm has come upon you.' 13However, the men rowed desperately to return to land, but they could not, because the sea was becoming even stormier against them.
King James Version

Chapter 1

11Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous. 12And 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. 13Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 1

11So they said to him, "What should we do to you so that the sea will calm down for us?" For the sea was getting worse and worse.
12He answered them, "Pick me up and throw me into the sea so that it will calm down for you, for I know that I’m to blame for this great storm that is against you." 13Nevertheless, the men rowed hard to get back to dry land, but they couldn’t because the sea was raging against them more and more.
New Living Translation

Chapter 1

11And since the storm was getting worse all the time, they asked him, 'What should we do to you to stop this storm?'
12Throw me into the sea,' Jonah said, 'and it will become calm again. I know that this terrible storm is all my fault.'
13Instead, the sailors rowed even harder to get the ship to the land. But the stormy sea was too violent for them, and they couldn’t make it.
English Standard Version

Chapter 1

11Then they said to him, "What shall we do to you, that the sea may quiet down for us?" For the sea grew more and more tempestuous. 12He said to them, "Pick me up and hurl me into the sea; then the sea will quiet down for you, for I know it is because of me that this great tempest has come upon you." 13Nevertheless, the men rowed hard to get back to dry land, but they could not, for the sea grew more and more tempestuous against them.
New International Version

Chapter 1

11The sea was getting rougher and rougher. So they asked him, "What should we do to you to make the sea calm down for us?"
12"Pick me up and throw me into the sea," he replied, "and it will become calm. I know that it is my fault that this great storm has come upon you."
13Instead, the men did their best to row back to land. But they could not, for the sea grew even wilder than before.
New King James Version

Chapter 1

11Then 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.
12And he said to them, “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.”
13Nevertheless the men rowed hard to return to land, but they could not, for the sea continued to grow more tempestuous against them.
