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.

King James Version KJV

1 Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,

2 And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.

3 For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.

4 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.

5 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.

6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.

7 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.

8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.

10 And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
