Jonah 2

Hebrew Names Version HNV

1 Then Yonah prayed to the LORD, his God, out of the fish's belly.

2 He said, "I called because of my affliction to the LORD. He answered me. Out of the belly of She'ol I cried. You heard my voice.

3 For you threw me into the depths, In the heart of the seas. The flood was all around me. All your waves and your billows passed over me.

4 I said, 'I have been banished from your sight; Yet I will look again toward your holy temple.'

5 The waters surrounded me, Even to the soul. The deep was around me. The weeds were wrapped around my head.

6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains. The eretz barred me in forever: Yet have you brought up my life from the pit, LORD my God.

7 "When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD. My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple.

8 Those who regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

9 But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to the LORD."

10 The LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Yonah on the dry land.

The Message Bible MSG

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

2 He prayed: "In trouble, deep trouble, I prayed to God. He answered me. From the belly of the grave I cried, 'Help!' You heard my cry.

3 You threw me into ocean's depths, into a watery grave, With ocean waves, ocean breakers crashing over me.

4 I said, 'I've been thrown away, thrown out, out of your sight. I'll never again lay eyes on your Holy Temple.'

5 Ocean gripped me by the throat. The ancient Abyss grabbed me and held tight. My head was all tangled in seaweed

6 at the bottom of the sea where the mountains take root. I was as far down as a body can go, and the gates were slamming shut behind me forever - Yet you pulled me up from that grave alive, O God, my God!

7 When my life was slipping away, I remembered God, And my prayer got through to you, made it all the way to your Holy Temple.

8 Those who worship hollow gods, god-frauds, walk away from their only true love.

9 But I'm worshiping you, God, calling out in thanksgiving! And I'll do what I promised I'd do! Salvation belongs to God!"

10 Then God spoke to the fish, and it vomited up Jonah on the seashore.
