Jonah - Chapter 2

Jon 2:1	¶	Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,
Jon 2:2		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.
Jon 2:3		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.
Jon 2:4		Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
Jon 2:5		The waters compassed me about, [even] to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
Jon 2:6		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.
Jon 2:7		When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
Jon 2:8		They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
Jon 2:9		But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay [that] that I have vowed. Salvation [is] of the LORD.
Jon 2:10	¶	And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry [land].
