Jonah 2

¹Then Jonah prayed to Yahweh, his God, out of the fish`s belly. ²He said, "I called because of my affliction to Yahweh. He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried. You heard my voice.

³For you threw me into the depths, In the heart of the seas. The flood was all around me. All your waves and your billows passed over me.

⁴I said, `I have been banished from your sight; Yet I will look again toward your holy temple.`

⁵The waters surrounded me, Even to the soul. The deep was around me. The weeds were wrapped around my head.

⁶I went down to the bottoms of the mountains. The earth barred me in forever: Yet have you brought up my life from the pit, Yahweh my God.

⁷"When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Yahweh. My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple.

⁸Those who regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

⁹But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to Yahweh."

¹⁰Yahweh spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah on the dry land.
