Jonah 2
1 2
3 4
1 Then Jonah prayed
unto the LORD his God out of the fish’s belly,
2 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.
3 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.
4 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight;
yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
5 The waters compassed me about, even
to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about
my head.
6 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.
7 When my soul fainted within me I
remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy
temple.
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake
their own mercy.
9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the
voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation
is of the LORD.
10 And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it
vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
