Jonah 1:11
Jonah 1:11 in Multiple Translations
Now the sea was growing worse and worse, so they said to Jonah, “What must we do to you to calm this sea for us?”
¶ Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous.
Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea grew more and more tempestuous.
And they said to him, What are we to do to you so that the sea may become calm for us? For the sea was getting rougher and rougher.
“What shall we do to you to calm the storm?” they asked him, since the storm was getting worse.
Then saide they vnto him, What shall we doe vnto thee, that the sea may be calme vnto vs? (for the sea wrought and was troublous)
And they say unto him, 'What do we do to thee that the sea may cease from us, for the sea is more and more tempestuous?'
Then they said to him, “What shall we do to you, that the sea may be calm to us?” For the sea grew more and more stormy.
Then said they to him, What shall we do to thee, that the sea may be calm to us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous.
And they said to him: What shall we do to thee, that the sea may be calm to us? for the sea flowed and swelled.
The storm kept getting worse and the waves kept getting bigger. So one of the sailors asked Jonah, “What should we do in order to make the sea become calm?”
The sea was getting more and more rough. So the ship-men asked Jonah, “How can we stop this storm and make the sea quiet and still? What do we have to do to you?”

Context — Jonah Cast into the Sea
9“I am a Hebrew,” replied Jonah. “I worship the LORD, the God of the heavens, who made the sea and the dry land.”
10Then the men were even more afraid and said to him, “What have you done?” The men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them.
11Now the sea was growing worse and worse, so they said to Jonah, “What must we do to you to calm this sea for us?”
12“Pick me up,” he answered, “and cast me into the sea, so it may quiet down for you. For I know that I am to blame for this violent storm that has come upon you.” 13Nevertheless, the men rowed hard to get back to dry land, but they could not, for the sea was raging against them more and more.Cross References

| 1 | 2 Samuel 21:1–6 | During the reign of David there was a famine for three successive years, and David sought the face of the LORD. And the LORD said, “It is because of the blood shed by Saul and his family, because he killed the Gibeonites.” At this, David summoned the Gibeonites and spoke to them. (Now the Gibeonites were not Israelites, but a remnant of the Amorites. The Israelites had taken an oath concerning them, but in his zeal for Israel and Judah, Saul had sought to kill them.) So David asked the Gibeonites, “What shall I do for you? How can I make amends so that you may bless the inheritance of the LORD?” The Gibeonites said to him, “We need no silver or gold from Saul or his house, nor should you put to death anyone in Israel for us.” “Whatever you ask, I will do for you,” he replied. And they answered the king, “As for the man who consumed us and plotted against us to exterminate us from existing within any border of Israel, let seven of his male descendants be delivered to us so that we may hang them before the LORD at Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of the LORD.” “I will give them to you,” said the king. |

Jonah 1:11 Summary
This verse shows that the sailors were getting more and more scared as the storm got worse, and they asked Jonah what they could do to make it stop. They knew that Jonah was running away from God, and they wanted to know how to make things right. This teaches us that our actions can have big consequences, and that we should always try to obey God and do what is right, just like it says in Psalm 37:37 to mark the blameless man and observe the upright. By following God's will, we can bring peace and calm to our lives and the lives of those around us, as promised in Matthew 11:28-30 where Jesus says that His yoke is easy and His burden is light.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did the sailors ask Jonah what to do to calm the sea?
The sailors asked Jonah what to do to calm the sea because they recognized that the storm was a result of Jonah's actions, and they wanted to know how to appease God and restore calm to the sea, as seen in Jonah 1:10 where they knew he was fleeing from the presence of the Lord.
What does this verse reveal about the sailors' understanding of God?
This verse shows that the sailors had some knowledge of the God of the Hebrews, as they were willing to listen to Jonah and consider his advice, and they acknowledged the power of God over the sea, as stated in Jonah 1:9 where Jonah says he worships the God who made the sea and the dry land.
How does this verse relate to the concept of sin and its consequences?
This verse illustrates the consequences of sin, as Jonah's attempt to flee from God's presence led to the storm, and the sailors' lives were put in danger, highlighting the idea that sin can have far-reaching effects, as seen in Romans 6:23 where it says that the wages of sin is death.
What can we learn from the sailors' willingness to listen to Jonah?
The sailors' willingness to listen to Jonah teaches us the importance of being open to guidance and correction, even from unexpected sources, and seeking to understand and obey God's will, as encouraged in Proverbs 1:7 where it says that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I may be trying to flee from God's presence in my own life, and what are the potential consequences of those actions?
- How can I cultivate a greater awareness of God's presence and power in my life, just as the sailors came to recognize God's hand in the storm?
- What are some areas where I need to be more willing to listen to guidance and correction, and how can I become more open to God's leading in those areas?
- In what ways can I apply the lesson of this verse to my relationships with others, seeking to be a positive influence and to bring calm and peace to those around me?
Gill's Exposition on Jonah 1:11
Then said they unto him, what shall we do unto thee,.... Though, both by the lot and his own confession, they knew he was the guilty person; for whose sake this storm was; yet were unwilling to do
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jonah 1:11
Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous. Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee?
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jonah 1:11
Then said they; when they heard all that Jonah had declared to them, and well weighed it all, and saw it looked all of one piece, most credible. Unto him; a prophet fittest in that respect to tell them what should be done, and a party so highly concerned in it. What shall we do unto thee? if thy God will by thee declare his will and we do it, we shall not provoke him; and if thou submit to his will, and direct us, we shall not injure thee. That the sea may be calm; cease its rage, and return to its former calmness for us to make our voyage. For the sea wrought, and was tempestuous; though Jonah had recounted all, and given glory to God, taken shame to himself, and satisfied the seamen, yet the sea grew higher and higher, more tempestuous in itself, and more dangerous to them, and they were sensible that somewhat must be done with Jonah to quiet all. Their fear was lest they should mistake herein, and therefore they ask his counsel.
Trapp's Commentary on Jonah 1:11
Jonah 1:11 Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous.Ver. 11. Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee?] q.d. Thou art a prophet of the Lord, and knowest how he may be pacified. Thou art also the party whom he pursueth: say what we shall do to thee to save ourselves from thy death, that even gapeth for us? from this sea, which else will soon swallow us up? for the sea worketh and is tempestuous: so Kimchi readeth the text; making these last also to be the words of the mariners. Thou seest that there is no hope, if thine angry God be not appeased. "Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods?" 1 Samuel 4:8. If the sea be thus rageful and dreadful, as Jonah 1:15, if it thus work and swell more and more, as we see it doth, thereby testifying that it can now no longer defer to execute God’ s anger, tell us what we shall do in this case and strait. What?
Ellicott's Commentary on Jonah 1:11
(11) What shall we.—The prophet would of course know how to appease the God he had displeased. May be calm unto us.—See margin. The word rendered calm occurs (Psalms 107:30) of a lull after a storm, and in Proverbs 26:20 metaphorically, of peace after strife. Wrought, and was tempestuous.—Literally, was going, and being agitated; an idiom rightly explained in the margin. (Comp. a similar idiom Genesis 8:3.)
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jonah 1:11
Verse 11. What shall we do unto thee] In these poor men there was an uncommon degree of humanity and tender feeling.
Cambridge Bible on Jonah 1:11
11. What shall we do unto thee] No doubt in their thus appealing to Jonah to tell them what was to be done, instead of at once ridding themselves of him as the acknowledged cause of their calamity, we may recognise their reverence for Jehovah, and in a measure also for His servant. At the same time it was only natural and reasonable that, having learned of him the cause, they should seek to know from him the cure of their trouble. “Since you are a worshipper of the most High and Almighty God, you ought to know how the anger of your God can be appeased.”—Rosenm. may be calm unto us] Lit., may be quiet from upon us, i. e. from pressing upon us and being hostile to us. The word used for being quiet or silent in this and the next verse only occurs beside in Psalms 107:30, of quiet after a storm at sea, and in Proverbs 26:20, of the ceasing of strife. wrought, and was tempestuous] Lit., was going and being tossed, i. e. according to the Hebrew idiom, became increasingly tempestuous. So in Genesis 8:3, “the waters returned from off the earth continually,” is literally, “returned to go and to return,” i.e. returned increasingly, or more and more. Grew more and more tempestuous, R. V.
Barnes' Notes on Jonah 1:11
What shall we do unto thee? - They knew him to be a prophet; they ask him the mind of his God.
Whedon's Commentary on Jonah 1:11
10. The words of Jonah recorded in Jonah 1:9 would be sufficient to create fear and restlessness; but if the closing words of Jon 1:10 are original, Jonah made known his attempt to flee from this God of heaven and earth.
