⁵ Then the sailors were full of fear, every man crying to his god; and the goods in the ship were dropped out into the sea to make the weight less. But Jonah had gone down into the inmost part of the ship where he was stretched out in a deep sleep.

¹⁸ And, still fighting the storm with all our strength, the day after they made a start at getting the goods out of the ship;

¹⁹ And on the third day, they let all the sailing apparatus go over the side.

³⁸ And when they had had enough food, they made the weight of the ship less, turning the grain out into the sea.

²⁶ So they took the ox which was given them, and made it ready, crying out to Baal from morning till the middle of the day, and saying, O Baal, give ear to us. But there was no voice and no answer. And they were jumping up and down before the altar they had made.

⁷ But those things which were profit to me, I gave up for Christ.

⁸ Yes truly, and I am ready to give up all things for the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, which is more than all: for whom I have undergone the loss of all things, and to me they are less than nothing, so that I may have Christ as my reward,

⁴⁵ And, getting up from prayer, he came to the disciples, and saw that they were sleeping for sorrow.

⁴⁶ And he said, Why are you sleeping? Get up, and give yourselves to prayer, so that you may not be put to the test.

⁴⁵ Then he comes to the disciples; and says to them, Go on sleeping now, and take your rest: for the hour is come, and the Son of man is given into the hands of evil men.

⁴³ And he came again and saw them sleeping, for their eyes were tired.

⁴⁰ And he comes to the disciples, and sees that they are sleeping, and says to Peter, What, were you not able to keep watch with me one hour?

⁴¹ Keep watch with prayer, so that you may not be put to the test: the spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is feeble.

⁵ Now the husband was a long time in coming, and they all went to sleep.

¹⁶ Then great was the men's fear of the Lord; and they made an offering to the Lord and took oaths to him.

¹⁴ So, crying to the Lord, they said, Give ear to our prayer, O Lord, give ear, and do not let destruction overtake us because of this man's life; do not put on us the sin of taking life without cause: for you, O Lord, have done what seemed good to you.

⁶ And the ship's captain came to him and said to him, What are you doing sleeping? Up! say a prayer to your God, if by chance God will give a thought to us, so that we may not come to destruction.

¹⁴ And they have not made prayer to me in their hearts, but they make loud cries on their beds; they are cutting themselves for food and wine, they are turned against me.

²⁸ But where are the gods you have made for yourselves? let them come, if they are able to give you salvation in the time of your trouble: for the number of your gods is as the number of your towns, O Judah.

²⁰ Come together, even come near, you nations who are still living: they have no knowledge who take up their image of wood, and make prayer to a god in whom is no salvation.

¹⁷ And the rest of it he makes into a god, even his pictured image: he goes down on his face before it, giving worship to it, and making prayer to it, saying, Be my saviour; for you are my god.

¹⁸ They have no knowledge or wisdom; for he has put a veil over their eyes, so that they may not see; and on their hearts, so that they may not give attention.

¹⁹ And no one takes note, no one has enough knowledge or wisdom to say, I have put part of it in the fire, and made bread on it; I have had a meal of the flesh cooked with it: and am I now to make the rest of it into a false god? am I to go down on my face before a bit of wood?

²⁰ As for him whose food is the dust of a dead fire, he has been turned from the way by a twisted mind, so that he is unable to keep himself safe by saying, What I have here in my hand is false.

⁴ And the Satan said in answer to the Lord, Skin for skin, all a man has he will give for his life.

³ Then Saul took three thousand of the best men out of all Israel, and went in search of David and his men on the rocks of the mountain goats.

¹⁹ And she made him go to sleep on her knees; and she sent for a man and had his seven twists of hair cut off; and while it was being done he became feeble and his strength went from him.
