2:1 |
Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the belly of the fish,
|
2:2 |
saying, 'I called to the LORD, out of my distress, and he answered me;out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and thou didst hear my voice.
|
2:3 |
For thou didst cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the flood was round about me;all thy waves and thy billows passed over me.
|
2:4 |
Then I said, I am cast out from thy presence;how shall I again look upon thy holy temple?'
|
2:5 |
The waters closed in over me, the deep was round about me;weeds were wrapped about my head
|
2:6 |
at the roots of the mountains. I went down to the land whose bars closed upon me for ever;yet thou didst bring up my life from the Pit, O LORD my God.
|
2:7 |
When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD;and my prayer came to thee, into thy holy temple.
|
2:8 |
Those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their true loyalty.
|
2:9 |
But I with the voice of thanksgiving will sacrifice to thee;what I have vowed I will pay. Deliverance belongs to the LORD!'
|
2:10 |
And the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
