The Storm Finds the Sleeper

4But Yahweh hurled a great wind onto the sea, and there was a great storm on the sea, so that the ship seemed about to be broken up.

5Then the sailors were afraid, and each cried out to his god. They threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea to lighten it for themselves. But Yonah had gone down into the innermost parts of the vessel, and he lay down and fell fast asleep.

6So the captain came near to him and said to him, “What do you mean, sleeper? Get up, call on your god. Perhaps the god will give thought to us, so that we may not perish.”
