# 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. |
