Jonah 2

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 Then Jonah made prayer to the Lord his God from the inside of the fish, and said,

2 In my trouble I was crying to the Lord, and he gave me an answer; out of the deepest underworld I sent up a cry, and you gave ear to my voice.

3 For you have put me down into the deep, into the heart of the sea; and the river was round about me; all your waves and your rolling waters went over me.

4 And I said, I have been sent away from before your eyes; how may I ever again see your holy Temple?

5 The waters were circling round me, even to the neck; the deep was about me; the sea-grass was twisted round my head.

6 I went down to the bases of the mountains; as for the earth, her walls were about me for ever: but you have taken up my life from the underworld, O Lord my God.

7 When my soul in me was overcome, I kept the memory of the Lord: and my prayer came in to you, into your holy Temple.

8 The worshippers of false gods have given up their only hope.

9 But I will make an offering to you with the voice of praise; I will give effect to my oaths. Salvation is the Lord's.

10 And at the Lord's order, the fish sent Jonah out of its mouth on to the 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.
