Jonah 2

Third Millennium Bible TMB

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 which I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD."

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

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the LORD his God.

2 Jonah prayed: "I called to the LORD in my distress, and he answered me. From the depths of my [watery] grave I cried for help, and you heard my cry.

3 You threw me into the deep, into the depths of the sea, and water surrounded me. All the whitecaps on your waves have swept over me.

4 "Then I thought, 'I have been banished from your sight. Will I ever see your holy temple again?'

5 "Water surrounded me, threatening my life. The deep [sea] covered me completely. Seaweed was wrapped around my head.

6 I sank to the foot of the mountains. I sank to the bottom, where bars held me forever. But you brought me back from the pit, O LORD, my God.

7 "As my life was slipping away, I remembered the LORD. My prayer came to you in your holy temple.

8 Those who hold on to worthless idols abandon their loyalty [to you].

9 But I will sacrifice to you with songs of thanksgiving. I will keep my vow. Victory belongs to the LORD!"

10 Then the LORD spoke to the fish, and it spit Jonah out onto the shore.
