Jonah 1:17

Verse 17 of 17. The 1st of 4 chapters in Jonah, in The Minor Prophets.

13Nevertheless the men rowed hard to get them back to the land; but they could not, for the sea grew more and more stormy against them.

14Therefore they cried to the LORD, and said, “We beg you, LORD, we beg you, don’t let us die for this man’s life, and don’t lay on us innocent blood; for you, LORD, have done as it pleased you.”

15So they took up Jonah and threw him into the sea; and the sea ceased its raging.

16Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly; and they offered a sacrifice to the LORD and made vows.

17The LORD prepared a huge fish to swallow up Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
