< Jonah 2 >
1 Then Ionah prayed vnto the Lord his God out of the fishes belly,
And Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish's belly;
2 And said, I cryed in mine affliction vnto the Lord, and he heard me: out of the bellie of hell cryed I, and thou heardest my voyce. (Sheol )
and he said: I cried by reason of my distress unto Jehovah, and he answered me; Out of the belly of Sheol cried I: thou heardest my voice. (Sheol )
3 For thou haddest cast me into the bottome in the middes of the sea, and the floods compassed me about: all thy surges, and all thy waues passed ouer me.
For thou didst cast me into the depth, into the heart of the seas, And the flood was round about me: All thy breakers and thy billows are gone over me.
4 Then I saide, I am cast away out of thy sight: yet will I looke againe towarde thine holy Temple.
And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes, Yet will I look again toward thy holy temple.
5 The waters compassed me about vnto the soule: the depth closed me rounde about, and the weedes were wrapt about mine head.
The waters encompassed me, to the soul: The deep was round about me, The weeds were wrapped about my head.
6 I went downe to the bottome of the moutaines: the earth with her barres was about me for euer, yet hast thou brought vp my life from the pit, O Lord my God.
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The bars of the earth [closed] upon me for ever: But thou hast brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.
7 When my soule fainted within me, I remembred the Lord: and my prayer came vnto thee, into thine holy Temple.
When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, Into thy holy temple.
8 They that waite vpon lying vanities, forsake their owne mercie.
They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
9 But I will sacrifice vnto thee with the voice of thankesgiuing, and will pay that that I haue vowed: saluation is of the Lord.
But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.
10 And the Lord spake vnto the fish, and it cast out Ionah vpon the dry lande.
And Jehovah commanded the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry [land].
