Jonah 2

Lexham English Bible LEB

1 And Jonah prayed to Yahweh his God from the belly of the fish

2 and said, "I called {from my distress}<note: Literally "from distress for me"> to Yahweh, and he answered me; from the belly of Sheol<note: "Sheol" is a Hebrew term for the place where the dead reside (i.e. the Underworld)> I cried for help-- you heard my voice.

3 And you threw me [into the] deep, into the heart of [the] seas, and [the] sea currents surrounded me; all your breakers and your surging waves passed over me.

4 And I said, 'I am banished from your sight; how {will I continue to look} {on your holy temple}?'

5 [The] waters encompassed me up to [my] neck; [the] deep surrounded me; seaweed was wrapped around my head.

6 I went down to the foundations of [the] mountains; the Underworld--its bars [were] around me forever. But you brought up my life from [the] pit, Yahweh my God.

7 When my life was ebbing away from me, I remembered Yahweh, and my prayer came to you, {to your holy temple}.

8 Those who worship vain idols forsake their loyal love.

9 But I, with a voice of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to you; I will fulfill what I have vowed. Deliverance [belongs] to Yahweh!"

10 And Yahweh spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out on 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.
