Context — Jonah Cast into the Sea
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.
14So they cried out to the LORD: “Please, O LORD, do not let us perish on account of this man’s life! Do not charge us with innocent blood! For You, O LORD, have done as You pleased.” 15Then they picked up Jonah and cast him into the sea, and the raging sea grew calm.Cross References

Jonah 1:13 Summary
This verse shows that even when we try our best to fix a problem or situation, sometimes it just gets worse, like the storm that the men were facing. The men were trying to row back to dry land, but the sea was too strong, and they couldn't make it. This reminds us that we are not in control, and that God is the one who is sovereign over all things (as seen in Psalm 135:6, which says 'whatever the Lord pleases, He does'). We can learn to trust in God's plan, even when things seem impossible, and cry out to Him for help, just like the men did in the next verse, Jonah 1:14.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did the men on the ship try to row back to dry land despite the storm?
The men tried to row back to dry land because they were trying to save their own lives and possibly spare Jonah's life, but as we see in Jonah 1:13, their efforts were in vain, and the sea raged on, much like the storms of life we face today, as described in Psalms 107:25, which says God 'raised a stormy wind, which lifted up the waves of the sea'
What does this verse reveal about the character of the men on the ship?
This verse shows that the men were determined and willing to work hard to try and save themselves, but ultimately, they were unable to overcome the power of the storm, which is a reminder that our own strength is limited, as stated in Proverbs 21:31, which says 'the horse is prepared for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the Lord'
How does this verse relate to the concept of God's sovereignty?
This verse demonstrates God's sovereignty over creation, as the storm rages on despite the men's efforts to calm it, illustrating that God is in control, even when we try to take matters into our own hands, as seen in Romans 11:36, which says 'from Him and through Him and to Him are all things'
What can we learn from the men's decision to try and row back to dry land?
We can learn that sometimes, despite our best efforts, we are unable to change our circumstances, and it is in those moments that we must turn to God and trust in His plan, as the men eventually did in Jonah 1:14, crying out to the Lord for help
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I am trying to 'row back to dry land' despite the storms that God is allowing, and how can I learn to trust in His sovereignty?
- How do I respond when my efforts to fix a problem or situation are met with failure, and what can I learn from the men's experience in this verse?
- What are some ways that I can apply the principle of trusting in God's sovereignty, even when I don't understand what is happening, as seen in this verse and in other scriptures like Isaiah 55:9, which says 'as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways'?
- How can I use this verse to encourage others who are facing their own storms and struggles, and what hope can I offer them from God's Word?
Gill's Exposition on Jonah 1:13
Nevertheless, the men rowed hard to bring [it] to the land, but they could not,.... Or, "they digged" (l); that is, the waters of the sea with their oars; not by casting anchor, as Abendana; they
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jonah 1:13
Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jonah 1:13
Nevertheless, Heb. And; but rightly to the proper sense of the phrase rendered here nevertheless: Notwithstanding the lot fell on Jonah, he confessed his fault, directs them to cast him overboard, and in all this avoweth himself to be a prophet of God, and assures them of a calm sea if they do this; yet, very willing to save him, the men rowed hard; they contrived all ways, and are willing to be at any labour to save him; they ply their oars, and strain their strength, with deep strokes tb force the ship to shore. But they could not; all was lost labour; God had given other order to his servants, the wind and sea; both obey him, and both keep Jonah a prisoner, self-condemned, and desirous of what the mariners were very unwilling to. For the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them: see : the sea tossed itself more violently, and by unsteady motions, like some hurricane, every moment endangered them.
Trapp's Commentary on Jonah 1:13
Jonah 1:13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring [it] to the land; but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them.Ver. 13. Nevertheless the men rowed] Heb. digged: for so they that row seem to do with their oars as with spades. Hence also the Latin poets say, that boatmen cut, plough, furrow the waters (Virg. Aeneid.), Vastum sulcavimus aequor. Infindunt pariter sulcos. The Seventy render it παρεβιαζοντο, they did their utmost endeavour, with violence, to bring the ship to shore, and to save Jonah: and not as those bloody emperors, Tiberius, Caligula, and Claudius, who took delight in the punishment of offenders, and used to come early in the morning into the marketplace to behold their executions. Non nisi coactus, said that better emperor, when he was to subscribe a sentence of death; and, Oh, that I could not write mine own name ( Utinam literas nescirem), said another upon the like occasion. But they could not] They did but strive against the stream, for the Lord had otherwise determined it; and Voluntas Dei necessitas rei, who hath resisted his will? For the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them.] As Jonah 1:11. Praesentemque viris intentant omnia mortem.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jonah 1:13
(13) Rowed hard.—This is a sufficient rendering of the Hebrew verb, though it misses the metaphor. In every other instance of its use the word refers to the violence employed in breaking through a wall or enclosure. (See Ezekiel 8:8; Ezekiel 12:5; Ezekiel 12:7; Job 24:16; Amos 9:2; and compare the use of the derivative noun in Exodus 22:2; Jeremiah 2:34.) The figure of forcing the ship through the great wave wall is very striking. The Latin infindere sulcos and our ploughing the main are kindred metaphors. It is a fine trait in these sailors that they will not obey the prophet’s request to throw him overboard till all efforts to save the ship have been tried.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jonah 1:13
Verse 13. The men rowed hard] Were very unwilling to proceed to this extremity, and thought they would risk every thing rather than cast this disobedient prophet into the great deep.
Cambridge Bible on Jonah 1:13
13. rowed hard] Lit., digged. The word is used for digging or breaking through a wall, Job 24:16; Ezekiel 12:5; Ezekiel 12:7. The figurative use of it does not occur again in the O.T., where, as has been before observed, the references to maritime affairs are very few, but the figure itself is common in other languages. Rosenm. compares the phrases “infindere sulcos,” “arare aquas,” “scindere freta.” Virg. Æn. v. 142, Ovid, Trist. III. Eleg. XII. 36, Metamorph. XI. 463. They used their-utmost endeavours to bring her to land again, but in vain, for the tempest, so far from abating, only raged more furiously.
Barnes' Notes on Jonah 1:13
The men rowed hard - , literally “dug.” The word, like our “plowed the main,” describes the great efforts which they made. Amid the violence of the storm, they had furled their sails. These were worse than useless.
Whedon's Commentary on Jonah 1:13
13. The men rowed hard — Literally, broke through. They tried to break through the waves (Amos 9:2). The manly attitude of Jonah may have aroused the sympathy of the sailors; they did their best to save him, but in vain.
