Jonah 2:3-10

3You threw me into the deep, into the depths of the sea, and water surrounded me. All the whitecaps on your waves have swept over me.

4“Then I thought, ‘I have been banished from your sight. Will I ever see your holy temple again?’

5“Water surrounded me, threatening my life. The deep ⌞sea⌟ covered me completely. Seaweed was wrapped around my head.

6I sank to the foot of the mountains. I sank to the bottom, where bars held me forever. But you brought me back from the pit, O Lord, my God.

7“As my life was slipping away, I remembered the Lord. My prayer came to you in your holy temple.

8Those who hold on to worthless idols abandon their loyalty ⌞to you⌟.

9But I will sacrifice to you with songs of thanksgiving. I will keep my vow. Victory belongs to the Lord!”

10Then the Lord spoke to the fish, and it spit Jonah out onto the shore.
