| Jonah 2: (ASV) |
| 1) Then Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish's belly. |
| 2) 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. |
| 3) 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) And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes; Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple. |
| 5) 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 with its bars closed upon me for ever: Yet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God. |
| 7) When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, into thy holy temple. |
| 8) They that regard lying vanities Forsake their own mercy. |
| 9) But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah. |
| 10) And Jehovah spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land. |
