Jonah 2:1-6 ▼

1 Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the stomach of the fish,

2 and he said, “I called out of my distress to the LORD, And He answered me. I called for help from the depth of Sheol; You heard my voice.

3 “For You threw me into the deep, Into the heart of the seas, And the current flowed around me. All Your breakers and waves passed over me.

4 “So I said, ‘I have been cast out of Your sight. Nevertheless I will look again toward Your holy temple.’

5 “Water encompassed me to the point of death. The deep flowed around me, Seaweed was wrapped around my head.

6 “I descended to the base of the mountains. The earth with its bars was around me forever, But You have brought up my life from the pit, LORD my God.
