Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the stomach of the fish,
|
| 2:2 |
and he said, "I called out of my distress to the LORD, And He answered me. I cried for help from the depth of Sheol; Thou didst hear my voice.
|
| 2:3 |
"For Thou hadst cast me into the deep, Into the heart of the seas, And the current engulfed me. All Thy breakers and billows passed over me.
|
| 2:4 |
"So I said, 'I have been expelled from Thy sight. Nevertheless I will look again toward Thy holy temple.'
|
| 2:5 |
"Water encompassed me to the point of death. The great deep engulfed me, Weeds were wrapped around my head.
|
| 2:6 |
"I descended to the roots of the mountains. The earth with its bars [was] around me forever, But Thou hast brought up my life from the pit, O LORD my God.
|
| 2:7 |
"While I was fainting away, I remembered the LORD; And my prayer came to Thee, Into Thy holy temple.
|
| 2:8 |
"Those who regard vain idols Forsake their faithfulness,
|
| 2:9 |
But I will sacrifice to Thee With the voice of thanksgiving. That which I have vowed I will pay. Salvation is from the LORD."
|
| 2:10 |
Then the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah up onto the dry land.
