←Prev   Jonah 2 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


2:1  1 Jonah is in the fish’s belly. 2 His prayer. 10 He is delivered. Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish’s belly,
2:2  And said, I cried in 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 bottom in the midst of the sea, and the floods compassed me about: all thy surges, and all thy waves passed over me.
2:4  Then I said, I am cast away out of thy sight: yet will I look again toward thine holy Temple.
2:5  The waters compassed me about unto the soul: the depth closed me round about, and the weeds were wrapped about mine head.
2:6  I went down to the bottom of the mountains: the earth with her bars was about me forever, yet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, O Lord my God.
2:7  When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the Lord: and my prayer came unto thee into thine holy Temple.
2:8  They that wait upon lying vanities, forsake their own mercy.
2:9  But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving, and will pay that that I have vowed: salvation is of the Lord.
2:10  And the Lord spake unto the fish, and it cast out Jonah upon the dry land.
