Jonah 2

Jonah’s Prayer

11Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God 2from the stomach of the fish, 2and he said, “I 3called out of my distress to the Lord, And He answered me. I cried for help from the 4depth of 5Sheol; You heard my voice.3For You had 6cast me into the deep, Into the heart of the seas, And the current 7engulfed me. All Your 8breakers and billows passed over me.4So I said, ‘I have been 9expelled from 10Your sight. Nevertheless I will look again 11toward Your holy temple.’512Water encompassed me to the 13point of death. The great 14deep 15engulfed me, Weeds were wrapped around my head.6I 16descended to the roots of the mountains. The earth with its 17bars was around me forever, But You have 18brought up my life from 19the pit, O Lord my God.7While 20I was 21fainting away, I 22remembered the Lord, And my 23prayer came to You, Into 24Your holy temple.8Those who 25regard 26vain idols Forsake their faithfulness,9But I will 27sacrifice to You With the voice of thanksgiving. That which I have vowed I will 28pay. 29Salvation is from the Lord.”

10Then the Lord commanded the 30fish, and it vomited Jonah up onto the dry land.
