Jonah 2

Jonah’s Prayer and God’s Answer

Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the fish’s belly.

Jonah's Prayer

And Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish's belly;

And he said:
“I cried out to the Lord because of my affliction,
And He answered me.
“Out of the belly of Sheol I cried,
And You heard my voice.

and he said: I cried by reason of my distress unto Jehovah, and he answered me; Out of the belly of Sheol cried I: thou heardest my voice.

For You cast me into the deep,
Into the heart of the seas,
And the floods surrounded me;
All Your billows and Your waves passed over me.

For thou didst cast me into the depth, into the heart of the seas, And the flood was round about me: All thy breakers and thy billows are gone over me.

Then I said, ‘I have been cast out of Your sight;
Yet I will look again toward Your holy temple.’

And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes, Yet will I look again toward thy holy temple.

The waters surrounded me, even to my soul;
The deep closed around me;
Weeds were wrapped around my head.

The waters encompassed me, to the soul: The deep was round about me, The weeds were wrapped about my head.

I went down to the [a]moorings of the mountains;
The earth with its bars closed behind me forever;
Yet You have brought up my life from the pit,
O Lord, my God.

I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The bars of the earth [closed] upon me for ever: But thou hast brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.

“When my soul fainted within me,
I remembered the Lord;
And my prayer went up to You,
Into Your holy temple.

When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, Into thy holy temple.

“Those who regard worthless idols
Forsake their own [b]Mercy.

They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

But I will sacrifice to You
With the voice of thanksgiving;
I will pay what I have vowed.
Salvation is of the Lord.”

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

So the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.

And Jehovah commanded the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry [land].
