Because the sea was growing more and more stormy, they asked him, "What do we have to do to you so the sea will calm down for us?"

At last they cried out to the LORD, "Please, LORD, do not let us perish because of this man's life, and do not hold us responsible for innocent blood, because you, LORD, have done what pleased you."

Those who cling to vain idols leave behind the gracious love that could have been theirs.

Who knows but that God may relent, have compassion, and turn from his fierce anger, so that we are not exterminated?"
