Jonah 2

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

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.

8 "Those who worship vain idols give up their source of mercy;

9 but I, speaking my thanks aloud, will sacrifice to you; what I have vowed, I will pay. Salvation comes from ADONAI!"

10 Then ADONAI spoke to the fish, and it vomited Yonah out onto dry land.

New International Version NIV

1 From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the LORD his God.

2 He said: “In my distress I called to the LORD, and he answered me. From deep in the realm of the dead I called for help, and you listened to my cry.

3 You hurled me into the depths, into the very heart of the seas, and the currents swirled about me; all your waves and breakers swept over me.

4 I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.’

5 The engulfing waters threatened me,the deep surrounded me; seaweed was wrapped around my head.

6 To the roots of the mountains I sank down; the earth beneath barred me in forever. But you, LORD my God, brought my life up from the pit.

7 “When my life was ebbing away, I remembered you, LORD, and my prayer rose to you, to your holy temple.

8 “Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from God’s love for them.

9 But I, with shouts of grateful praise, will sacrifice to you. What I have vowed I will make good. I will say, ‘Salvation comes from the LORD.’ ”

10 And the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
