2 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.
