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 called for help from the 4depth of 5Sheol; You heard my voice.3For You 6threw me into the deep, Into the heart of the seas, And the current flowed around me. All Your 7breakers and waves passed over me.4So I said, ‘I have been 8cast out 9of Your sight. Nevertheless I will look again 10toward Your holy temple.’511Water encompassed me to the 12point of death. The 13deep flowed around me, Seaweed was wrapped around my head.6I 14descended to the base of the mountains. The earth with its 15bars was around me forever, But You have 16brought up my life from 17the pit, Lord my God.7While 18I was 19fainting away, I 20remembered the Lord, And my 21prayer came to You, Into 22Your holy temple.8Those who 23are followers of worthless 24idols Abandon their faithfulness,9But I will 25sacrifice to You With a voice of thanksgiving. That which I have vowed I will 26pay. 27Salvation is from the Lord.”

10Then the Lord commanded the 28fish, and it vomited Jonah up onto the dry land.
