Jonah 2

Common English Bible CEB

1 Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the belly of the fish:

2 "I called out to the LORD in my distress, and he answered me. From the belly of the underworld I cried out for help; you have heard my voice.

3 You had cast me into the depths in the heart of the seas, and the flood surrounds me. All your strong waves and rushing water passed over me.

4 So I said, ‘I have been driven away from your sight. Will I ever again look on your holy temple?

5 Waters have grasped me to the point of death; the deep surrounds me. Seaweed is wrapped around my head

6 at the base of the undersea mountains. I have sunk down to the underworld; its bars held me with no end in sight. But you brought me out of the pit.'

7 When my endurance was weakening, I remembered the LORD, and my prayer came to you, to your holy temple.

8 Those deceived by worthless things lose their chance for mercy.

9 But me, I will offer a sacrifice to you with a voice of thanks. That which I have promised, I will pay. Deliverance belongs to the LORD!"

10 Then the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto the dry land.

New Revised Standard NRS

1 Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish,

2 saying, "I called to the Lord out of my distress, and he answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and you heard my voice.

3 You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the flood surrounded me; all your waves and your billows passed over me.

4 Then I said, "I am driven away from your sight; how shall I look again upon your holy temple?'

5 The waters closed in over me; the deep surrounded me; weeds were wrapped around my head

6 at the roots of the mountains. I went down to the land whose bars closed upon me forever; yet you brought up my life from the Pit, O Lord my God.

7 As my life was ebbing away, I remembered the Lord; and my prayer came to you, into your holy temple.

8 Those who worship vain idols forsake their true loyalty.

9 But I with the voice of thanksgiving will sacrifice to you; what I have vowed I will pay. Deliverance belongs to the Lord!"

10 Then the Lord spoke to the fish, and it spewed Jonah out upon the dry land.
