Jonah 2

1Then Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish’s belly.

2And he said,

3For thou didst cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas,

4And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes;

5The waters compassed me about, even to the soul;

6I went down to the bottoms of the mountains;

7When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah;

8They that regard lying vanities

9But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving;

10And Jehovah spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
