Then Jonah prayed
unto the LORD
his God
out of the fish's
belly
,
And said, I cried
by reason of mine affliction
unto the LORD
, and he heard
me; out of the belly
of hell
cried
I, and thou heardest
my voice
.
For thou hadst cast me into the deep
, in the midst
of the seas
; and the floods
compassed
me about: all thy billows
and thy waves
passed over
me.
Then I said, I am cast out
of thy sight
; yet I will look
again
toward thy holy
temple
.
The waters compassed me about
, even to the soul
: the depth
closed me round about
, the weeds
were wrapped about
my head
.
I went down to the bottoms
of the mountains
; the earth
with her bars
was about me for ever
: yet hast thou brought up
my life
from corruption
, O LORD
my God
.
When my soul fainted
within me I remembered
the LORD
: and my prayer
came in
unto thee, into thine holy
temple
.
They that observe lying
vanities
forsake
their own mercy
.
But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice
of thanksgiving
; I will pay
that that I have vowed
. Salvation
is of the LORD
.
And the LORD spake
unto the fish
, and it vomited out
Jonah
upon the dry
land .
