Jonah, Chapter 2
|
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.
