Verse 11 is found in chapter 1 of Jonah. Jonah accepts that he must be thrown into the sea so that the storm will cease. The prophet acknowledges his responsibility and, although he still does not pray for Nineveh, his decision begins to produce a form of self-sacrifice that contrasts with his initial flight.

Da sprachen sie zu ihm: Was sollen wir denn mit dir tun, daß uns das Meer still werde? Denn das Meer fuhr ungestüm.
Y dijéronle: ¿Qué te haremos, para que la mar se nos quiete? porque la mar iba a más, y se embravecía.
Ils lui dirent: Que te ferons-nous, pour que la mer se calme envers nous? Car la mer était de plus en plus orageuse.
Ed essi gli dissero: Che ti faremo, acciocchè il mare si acqueti, lasciandoci in riposo? conciossiachè la tempesta del mare andasse vie più crescendo.
E disseram-lhe: Que te faremos nós, para que o mar se nos acalme? Porque o mar ia se tornando cada vez mais tempestuoso.
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?」
