Jonah 2:1-5 ▼

1 Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the belly of the fish:

2 I called to the LORD in my distress, and he answered me. I cried out for help from deep inside Sheol; you heard my voice.

3 When you threw me into the depths, into the heart of the seas, the current overcame me. All your breakers and your billows swept over me.

4 And I said, “I have been banished from your sight, yet I will look once more toward your holy temple.”

5 The water engulfed me up to the neck; the watery depths overcame me; seaweed was wrapped around my head.
