Jonah 2
1
Then Jonah prayed to YHWH his God out of the fish`s belly.
2
And he said, I called by reason of mine affliction to YHWH, And he answered me; Out
of the belly of Sheol cried I, [And] you heard my voice.
3
For you did cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, And the flood was round
about me; All your waves and your billows passed over me.
4
And I said, I am cast out from before your eyes; Yet I will look again toward your
holy temple.
5
The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; The deep was round about me; The
weeds were wrapped about my head.
6
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The earth with its bars [closed] upon
me for ever: Yet have you brought up my life from the pit, O YHWH my God.
7
When my soul fainted within me, I remembered YHWH; And my prayer came in to you, into
your holy temple.
8
They that regard lying vanities Forsake their own mercy.
9
But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which
I have vowed. Salvation is of YHWH.
10
And YHWH spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
