Jonah 2
1 Then Jonah prayed to YHWH, his God, out of the fish's belly.
Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish’s belly.
2 He said, "I called because of my affliction to YHWH. He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried. You heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
And he said, I called by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he answered me; out of the belly of hell cried I, [and] thou heardest my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 For you threw me into the depths, in the heart of the seas. The flood was all around me. All your breakers and waves passed over me.
For thou didst cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, and the flood was round about me; all thy waves and thy billows passed over me.
4 I said, 'I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.'
And I said, am cast out from before thine eyes; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
5 The waters surrounded me, threatening my life. The deep was around me. The end is upon my head.
The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; the deep was round about me; the weeds were wrapped about my head.
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains. The earth barred me in forever: yet have you brought up my life from the pit, YHWH my God.
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars [closed] upon me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, O LORD my God.
7 "When my soul fainted within me, I remembered YHWH. My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple.
When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
8 Those who regard worthless things forsake their faithfulness.
They that regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
9 But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to YHWH."
But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.
10 YHWH spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah on the dry land.
And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
