Jonah 2
2
1 Then Jonah prayed to the LORD, his God, out of the fish’s belly. 2He said,
“I called because of my affliction to the LORD.
He answered me.
Out of the belly of Sheol#2:2 Sheol is the place of the dead. I cried.
You heard my voice.
3 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.
4 I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight;
yet I will look again towards your holy temple.’
5 The waters surrounded me,
even to the soul.
The deep was around me.
The weeds were wrapped around my head.
6 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.
7“When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD.
My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple.
8 Those who regard vain idols 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 the LORD.”
10 Then the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah on the dry land.

Jonah 2
2
1Now Adonai prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
Jonah’s Prayer of Distress
2Then Jonah prayed to Adonai his God from the belly of the fish,
3saying: “From my distress I cried to Adonai and He answered me. From the belly of Sheol I cried for help and you heard my voice.
4For you hurled me from the deep into the heart of the seas, and currents swirled around me. All your waves and your breakers swept over me.”
5And I said, “I have been banished from before your eyes. Yet I will continue to look toward your holy Temple.”
6Waters surrounded me up to my soul. The deep sea engulfed me— reeds clung to my head.
7To the bottoms of the mountains I went down. The earth with her bars was around me, forever! Yet You brought my life up from the Pit, Adonai my God.
8As my soul was fading from me, I remembered Adonai and my prayer came to You, toward Your holy Temple.
9Those who watch worthless empty things forsake their mercy.
10But I, with a voice of thanks will sacrifice to you. What I vowed, I will pay. Salvation is from Adonai.”
11Then Adonai spoke to the fish and it vomited Jonah onto the dry land.
