The Book of Jonah

 

Chapter 2

 

 

1.

 

Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,

    
 
 

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.

    
 
 

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.

    
 
 

4.

 

Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward 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.

    
 
 

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.

    
 
 

7.

 

When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.

    
 
 

8.

 

They that observe lying vanities forsake their own 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.

    
 
 

10.

 

And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry [land].
