Jonah 2 Bible text
He said, “I called because of my affliction to the LORD. He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried. You heard my voice.
And he said, I called by reason of mine affliction unto Jehovah, And he answered me; Out of the belly of Sheol cried I, And thou heardest my voice.
For you threw me into the depths, in the heart of the seas. The flood was all around me. All your waves and your billows 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.
I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.’
And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes; Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The deep was around me. The weeds were wrapped around my head.
The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; The deep was round about me; The weeds were wrapped about my head.
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains. The earth barred me in forever; yet you have brought my life up from the pit, LORD my God.
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The earth with its bars closed upon me for ever: Yet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.
“When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD. My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple.
When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, into thy holy temple.
