Jonah 2:1-7

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

1 Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from inside the fish:

2 I called to the Lord in my distress, and He answered me. I cried out for help in the belly of Sheol; You heard my voice.

3 You threw me into the depths, into the heart of the seas, and the current overcame me. All Your breakers and Your billows swept over me.

4 But I said: I have been banished from Your sight, yet I will look once more toward Your holy temple.

5 The waters engulfed me up to the neck; the watery depths overcame me; seaweed was wrapped around my head.

6 I sank to the foundations of the mountains; the earth with its prison bars closed behind me forever! But You raised my life from the Pit, Lord my God!

7 As my life was fading away, I remembered the Lord. My prayer came to You, to Your holy temple.

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.
