Holy Bible
(King James Version)
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.
