So they said to him,“ What should we do to you so that the sea will calm down for us?” For the sea was getting worse and worse.

他们问他说：“我们当向你怎样行，使海浪平静呢？”这话是因海浪越发翻腾。

海浪越来越汹涌，他们就问他说：“我们当向你做什么，才能使海浪平静呢？”

海浪越来越汹涌，他们就问他说：“我们当向你做什么，才能使海浪平静呢？”

那时，风浪越来越大，他们便对约拿说：“我们要怎样处置你，才能使风浪平静呢？”

因为海浪越来越汹涌，他们又对他说：“我们该怎样处置你，才能叫海浪平静呢？”

他们又对他说：“我们该对你怎么做，才能使海为我们平静下来呢？”因为海浪越来越汹涌了。

他們問他說：「我們當向你怎樣行，使海浪平靜呢？」這話是因海浪越發翻騰。

海浪越來越洶湧，他們就問他說：「我們當向你做甚麼，才能使海浪平靜呢？」

他們又問他：「我們該對你怎麼做，才能使海為我們平靜下來呢？」因為海浪越來越洶湧了。

又謂之曰、我當何以待爾、使海為我而恬靜乎、因海久而愈盪、

又曰、今海震盪愈甚、當若何待爾、則風浪可息。

又曰、今海之波濤洶湧已甚、當若何待爾、使海恬靜乎、

The sea was getting rougher and rougher. So they asked him,“ What should we do to you to make the sea calm down for us?”

The sea was getting rougher and rougher. So they asked him,“ What should we do to you to make the sea calm down?”

Then they said to him,“ What shall we do to you, that the sea may quiet down for us?” For the sea grew more and more tempestuous.

And since the storm was getting worse all the time, they asked him,“ What should we do to you to stop this storm?”

So they said to him,“ What should we do to you so that the sea will become calm for us?”— for the sea was becoming increasingly stormy.

Then they said to him,“ What shall we do to you that the sea may be calm for us?”— for the sea was growing more 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.

So they said to him,“ What should we do to you to calm this sea that’s against us?” For the sea was getting worse and worse.

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.

Because the storm was growing worse and worse, they said to him,“ What should we do to you to make the sea calm down for us?”

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.

During David’s reign there was a famine for three successive years, so David inquired of the LORD. The LORD answered,“ It is due to Saul and to his bloody family, because he killed the Gibeonites.”The Gibeonites were not Israelites but rather a remnant of the Amorites. The Israelites had taken an oath concerning them, but Saul had tried to kill them in his zeal for the Israelites and Judah. So David summoned the Gibeonites and spoke to them.He asked the Gibeonites,“ What should I do for you? How can I make atonement so that you will bring a blessing on the LORD’s inheritance?”The Gibeonites said to him,“ We are not asking for silver and gold from Saul or his family, and we cannot put anyone to death in Israel.”“ Whatever you say, I will do for you,” he said.They replied to the king,“ As for the man who annihilated us and plotted to destroy us so we would not exist within the whole territory of Israel,let seven of his male descendants be handed over to us so we may hang them in the presence of the LORD at Gibeah of Saul, the LORD’s chosen.” The king answered,“ I will hand them over.”

When David got up in the morning, the word of the LORD had come to the prophet Gad, David’s seer:“ Go and say to David,‘ This is what the LORD says: I am offering you three choices. Choose one of them, and I will do it to you.’”So Gad went to David, told him the choices, and asked him,“ Do you want three years of famine to come on your land, to flee from your foes three months while they pursue you, or to have a plague in your land three days? Now, consider carefully what answer I should take back to the one who sent me.”

What should I bring before the LORD when I come to bow before God on high? Should I come before him with burnt offerings, with year-old calves?Would the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams or with ten thousand streams of oil? Should I give my firstborn for my transgression, the offspring of my body for my own sin?

the Philistines summoned the priests and the diviners and pleaded,“ What should we do with the ark of the LORD? Tell us how we can send it back to its place.”They replied,“ If you send the ark of Israel’s God away, do not send it without an offering. Send back a guilt offering to him, and you will be healed. Then the reason his hand hasn’t been removed from you will be revealed.”
