Jonah 2:5-7

5“I sank beneath the waves, and the waters closed over me. Seaweed wrapped itself around my head.

6I sank down to the very roots of the mountains. I was imprisoned in the earth, whose gates lock shut forever. But you, O Lord my God, snatched me from the jaws of death!

7As my life was slipping away, I remembered the Lord. And my earnest prayer went out to you in your holy Temple.
