Jonah 2:1-7 (Complete Jewish Bible)
View In My Bible
1
From the belly of the fish Yonah prayed to ADONAI his God;
2
he said, "Out of my distress I called to ADONAI, and he answered me; from the belly of Sh'ol I cried, and you heard my voice.
3
For you threw me into the deep, into the heart of the seas; and the flood enveloped me; all your surging waves passed over me.
4
I thought, 'I have been banished from your sight.' But I will again look at your holy temple.
5
The water surrounded me, threatened my life; the deep closed over me, seaweed twined around my head.
6
I was going down to the bottoms of the mountains, to a land whose bars would close me in forever; but you brought me up alive from the pit, ADONAI, my God!
7
As my life was ebbing away, I remembered ADONAI; and my prayer came in to you, into your holy temple.
