2:1 | | Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly, |
2:2 | | 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. |
2:3 | | 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. |
2:4 | | Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple. |
2:5 | | The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head. |
2:6 | | 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. |
2:7 | | When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple. |
2:8 | | They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy. |
2:9 | | But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD. |
2:10 | | And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land. |
