Jonah 2
1 Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish’s belly,
Then Jonah prayed to Jehovah from the belly of the fish,
2 And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, [and] thou heardest my voice. (Sheol h7585)
and said: — I cried by reason of my distress to Jehovah, And he heard me: Out of the depth of the under-world I cried, And thou didst hear my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
Thou didst cast me into the deep, into the heart of the sea, And the flood compassed me about; All thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
4 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
And I said, “I am cast out from before thine eyes; Yet I will look again to thy holy temple!”
5 The waters compassed me about, [even] to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
The waters compassed me about, even to the life, The deep enclosed me round about; Sea-weeds were bound around my head;
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars [was] about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.
I sank down to the foundations of the mountains; The bars of the earth were about me forever; Yet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah, my God!
7 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah, And my prayer came to thee, To thy holy temple.
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
They that honor lying vanities forsake their mercy;
9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay [that] that I have vowed. Salvation [is] of the LORD.
But I will sacrifice to thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed; Salvation is from Jehovah.
10 And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry [land].
And Jehovah commanded the fish, and it cast out Jonah upon the dry land.
