Jonah 1:13
Thomson 1808
When the men had laboured hard to reach land, but could not because the sea ran high, and grew more tempestuous against them,
Brenton 1851
And the men tried hard to return to the land, and were not able: for the sea rose and grew more and more tempestuous against them.
Greek · Brenton
Καὶ παρεβιάζοντο οἱ ἄνδρες τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι πρὸς τὴν γῆν, καὶ οὐκ ἠδύναντο, ὅτι ἡ θάλασσα ἐπορεύετο, καὶ ἐξηγείρετο μᾶλλον ἐπʼ αὐτούς.
