“And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.”
Jonah's response to pick him up and hurl him into the sea so that the sea may quiet down indicates Jonah's willingness to bear the consequences of his disobedience. The offer of himself as a sacrifice suggests that Jonah recognizes the need for restitution. This verse demonstrates Jonah's acceptance of judgment.
