| Jonah 2:1 |
Then Jonah prayed to Jehovah his God from the stomach of the fish, |
| Jonah 2:2 |
And he said, / I called out because of my distress / To Jehovah, and He answered me; / From the belly of Sheol I cried out for help; / You heard my voice. |
| Jonah 2:3 |
You flung me into the depths, into the heart of the sea, / And the flood surrounded me; / All Your breakers and Your billows / Passed over me. |
| Jonah 2:4 |
Therefore I said, I have been driven out / From before Your eyes; / Yet I will look again / Toward Your holy temple. |
| Jonah 2:5 |
Water encompassed me, [even] to my soul; / The deep surrounded me; / Seaweed was wrapped about my head. |
| Jonah 2:6 |
To the bottom of the [sea] mountains I went down; / The earth [with] its bars was around me forever. / Then You have brought up my life from the pit, / O Jehovah my God. |
| Jonah 2:7 |
When my soul fainted within me, / I remembered Jehovah, / And my prayer came to You / In Your holy temple. |
| Jonah 2:8 |
Those who regard empty vanities / Forsake the lovingkindness to them; |
| Jonah 2:9 |
But I will sacrifice to You / With the voice of thanksgiving; / That which I have vowed I will fully pay. / Salvation is of Jehovah. |
| Jonah 2:10 |
And Jehovah spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out onto the dry land. |
