Jonah 2 (King James Version)
View In My Bible
1
Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,
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.
3
For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midsta of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
4
Then I said , I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
5
The waters compassed me about , even to the soul: the depth closed me round about , the weeds were wrapped about my head.
6
I went down to the bottomsb 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.
7
When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
8
They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
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.
10
And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
