# Jonah 2 (New King James Version)
|
|
Jonah's Prayer and God's Answer
|
|
|
|
##### Chapter 2
|
|
###### 1 Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the fish's belly.
|
|
###### 2 And he said:
|
|
"I cried out to the Lord because of my affliction,
|
|
And He answered me.
|
|
"Out of the belly of Sheol I cried,
|
|
_And_ You heard my voice.
|
|
|
|
###### 3 For You cast me into the deep,
|
|
Into the heart of the seas,
|
|
And the floods surrounded me;
|
|
All Your billows and Your waves passed over me.
|
|
|
|
###### 4 Then I said, 'I have been cast out of Your sight;
|
|
Yet I will look again toward Your holy temple.'
|
|
|
|
###### 5 The waters surrounded me, _even_ to my soul;
|
|
The deep closed around me;
|
|
Weeds were wrapped around my head.
|
|
|
|
###### 6 I went down to the moorings of the mountains;
|
|
The earth with its bars _closed_ behind me forever;
|
|
Yet You have brought up my life from the pit,
|
|
O Lord, my God.
|
|
|
|
###### 7 "When my soul fainted within me,
|
|
I remembered the Lord;
|
|
And my prayer went _up_ to You,
|
|
Into Your holy temple.
|
|
|
|
###### 8 "Those who regard worthless idols
|
|
Forsake their own Mercy.
|
|
|
|
###### 9 But I will sacrifice to You
|
|
With the voice of thanksgiving;
|
|
I will pay what I have vowed.
|
|
Salvation _is_ of the Lord."
|
|
|
|
###### 10 So the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry _land._
