| 2:1 |
Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,
|
| 2:2 |
And said, I cried by reason of my affliction to the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, [and] thou heardst my voice.
|
| 2:3 |
For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods encompassed me: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
|
| 2:4 |
Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again towards thy holy temple.
|
| 2:5 |
The waters encompassed me, [even] to the soul: the depth inclosed me on every side, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
|
| 2:6 |
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.
|
| 2:7 |
When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came to thee, into thy holy temple.
|
| 2:8 |
They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
|
| 2:9 |
But I will sacrifice to thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay [that] which I have vowed. Salvation [is] of the LORD.
|
| 2:10 |
And the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry [land].
