Jonah's Prayer

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

Jonah’s Prayer and God’s Answer

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

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

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

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

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

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