Jonah Chapter 2
|
|||
|
|
1 Then Jonah prayed to Yahweh, his God, out of the fish’s belly.
|
|||
|
|
2 He said, “I called because of my affliction to Yahweh. He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried. You heard my voice.
|
|||
|
|
3 For 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.
|
|||
|
|
4 I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.’
|
|||
|
|
5 The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The deep was around me. The weeds were wrapped around my head.
|
|||
|
|
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains. The earth barred me in forever; yet you have brought my life up 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.
|
|||
|
|
8 Those who regard vain idols 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 belongs to Yahweh.”
|

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