Jon2:1 Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the stomach of the fish,
Jon2:2 and he said, "I called out of my distress to the LORD, And He answered me. I cried for help from the depth of Sheol; Thou didst hear my voice.
Jon2:3 "For Thou hadst cast me into the deep, Into the heart of the seas, And the current engulfed me. All Thy breakers and billows passed over me.
Jon2:4 "So I said, 'I have been expelled from Thy sight. Nevertheless I will look again toward Thy holy temple.'
Jon2:5 "Water encompassed me to the point of death. The great deep engulfed me, Weeds were wrapped around my head.
Jon2:6 "I descended to the roots of the mountains. The earth with its bars [was] around me forever, But Thou hast brought up my life from the pit, O LORD my God.
Jon2:7 "While I was fainting away, I remembered the LORD; And my prayer came to Thee, Into Thy holy temple.
Jon2:8 "Those who regard vain idols Forsake their faithfulness,
Jon2:9 But I will sacrifice to Thee With the voice of thanksgiving. That which I have vowed I will pay. Salvation is from the LORD."
Jon2:10 Then the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah up onto the dry land.
