< Jonah 2 >
1 Then Ionah prayed vnto the Lord his God out of the fishes belly,
And he prayed Jonah to Yahweh God his from [the] inward parts of the fish.
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 called from distress of me to Yahweh and he answered me from [the] belly of Sheol I cried for help you heard voice my. (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.
And you have thrown me [the] deep in [the] heart of [the] seas and a river it surrounds me all breakers your and waves your over me they have passed.
4 Then I saide, I am cast away out of thy sight: yet will I looke againe towarde thine holy Temple.
And I I said I have been driven away from before eyes your nevertheless I will repeat to look to [the] temple of holiness your.
5 The waters compassed me about vnto the soule: the depth closed me rounde about, and the weedes were wrapt about mine head.
They have encompassed me waters to [the] neck [the] deep it surrounds me rush[es] [is] wrapped round to head my.
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.
To extremities of mountains I went down the earth bars its [were] behind me for ever and you brought up from [the] pit life my O Yahweh God my.

8 They that waite vpon lying vanities, forsake their owne mercie.
[those who] pay regard Vanities of nothingness loyalty their they abandon.
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.
And I with a voice of thanksgiving I will sacrifice to you [that] which I have vowed I will fulfill rescue [belongs] to Yahweh.
