Jonah 2:1

Contemporary English Version 1995

From inside the fish, Jonah prayed to the Lord his God:

See the chapter Copy

When you are in trouble, call out to me. I will answer and be there to protect and honor you.

God may kill me, but still I will trust him and offer my defense.

When you punished our people, they turned and prayed to you, our Lord.

Pray to me in time of trouble. I will rescue you, and you will honor me.

If you are having trouble, you should pray. And if you are feeling good, you should sing praises.

Then I'll return to my temple until they confess their guilt and worship me, until they are desperate and beg for my help.

You can drink water from the creek, and eat the food I've told the ravens to bring you.”
