Jonah 2:1-10
2 Then prayed Jonah, unto Yahweh his God,—out of the belly of the fish;
2 and said—I cried—out of my distress—unto Yahweh And he answered me,—Out of the belly of hades called I, Thou didst hear my voice.
3 For thou hast cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, And a flood enveloped me,—All thy breakers and thy rolling waves over me passed.
4 And I said, I am driven out from before thine eyes,—Yet will I again have regard unto thy holy temple:
5 The waters encompassed me to the peril of my life, The roaring deep enveloped me,—The sea-weed was wrapped about my head:
6 To the roots of the mountains went I down, As for the earth her bars were about me age-abidingly,—Then didst thou bring up—out of the pit—my life, O Yahweh my God.
7 When my soul darkened itself over me Yahweh I remembered,—And my prayer came in Unto thee, Unto thy holy temple.
8 They who take heed to the vanities of falsehood do their own lovingkindness forsake.
9 But I with the voice of praise will sacrifice unto thee, What I have vowed I will pay,—Salvation belongeth to Yahweh!
10 So then Yahweh spake unto the fish,—and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
