Jonah 2

1

And Jonah prayed to Jehovah his God out of the belly of the fish.

2

And he said, I cried out to Jehovah from my distress. And He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried for help, and You heard my voice.

3

For You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the current surrounded me; all Your breakers and Your waves passed over me.

4

And I said, I am cast off from Your eyes; yet I will again look to Your holy temple.

5

Waters encompassed me, even to my soul; the depth closed around me; seaweed was clinging to my head.

6

I went down to the bases of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me forever. But You brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.

7

When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; and my prayer came to You, to Your holy temple.

8

Those who observe vanities of idolatry forsake their faithfulness;

9

but I will sacrifice to You with the voice of thanksgiving; I will fulfill that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to Jehovah!

10

And Jehovah spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out onto the dry land.
