Jonah 2:3-10
3For You had 1castH7993 me into the deepH4688, Into the heartH3824 of the seasH3220, And the currentH5104 2engulfedH5437 me. AllH3605 Your 3breakersH4867 and billowsH1530 passedH5674 overH5921 me.4So I saidH559, ‘I have been 4expelledH1644 from 5Your sightH5869. NeverthelessH389 I will lookH5027 againH3254 6towardH413 Your holyH6944 templeH1964.’57WaterH4325 encompassedH661 me to the 8point of deathH5315. The great 9deepH8415 10engulfedH5437 me, WeedsH5488 were wrappedH2280 around my headH7218.6I 11descendedH3381 to the rootsH7095 of the mountainsH2022. The earthH776 with its 12barsH1280 was aroundH1157 me foreverH5769, But You have 13broughtH5927 up my lifeH2425 from 14the pitH7845, O LordH3068 my GodH430.7While 15I was 16faintingH5848 awayH5848, I 17rememberedH2142 the LordH3068, And my 18prayerH8605 cameH935 to You, Into 19Your holyH6944 templeH1964.8Those who 20regardH8104 21vainH7723 idolsH1892 ForsakeH5800 their faithfulnessH2617,9But I will 22sacrificeH2076 to You With the voiceH6963 of thanksgivingH8426. That whichH834 I have vowedH5087 I will 23payH7999. 24SalvationH3444 is from the LordH3068.”
10Then the LordH3068 commandedH559 the 25fishH1709, and it vomitedH7006 JonahH3124 up ontoH413 the dryH3004 landH3004.
