“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].” (Jonah
2:1-10 AV)
