Jona 1,13

Mercy and compassion

11 Havet ble stadig mer opprørt. Så de spurte ham, “Hva skal vi gjøre med deg for at havet skal bli rolig for oss?”

12 Han svarte, “Ta meg opp og kast meg i havet, så vil det bli rolig. Jeg vet at det er på grunn av meg denne store stormen har kommet over dere.”

Likevel rodde mennene hardt for å komme tilbake til land, men de kunne ikke, for havet ble enda mer opprørt mot dem.

14 Da ropte de til Herren, “Vi ber deg, Herre, la oss ikke gå under for denne mannens skyld, og hold oss ikke ansvarlige for uskyldig blod; for du, Herre, har gjort som du vil.”

15 Så tok de Jona og kastet ham i havet, og havet sluttet å rase.
