Jonah 1:7-9

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁷ Then the sailors said to each other, “Come on, let’s cast lots so that we can find out whose fault it is that this disaster has come to us.” So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.

⁸ So they said to him, “Please tell us whose fault it is that this disaster has come to us! What is your occupation? Where do you come from? What is your country? What people are you from?”

⁹ He answered, “I am a Hebrew, and I fear the Lord, the God of Heaven, who made the sea and the dry land.”
