While Jonah was inside the fish, he prayed to the Lord his God and said,
They will call to me, and I will answer them. I will be with them in trouble; I will rescue them and honor them.
Even if God kills me, I have hope in him; I will still defend my ways to his face.
Lord, people remember you when they are in trouble; they say quiet prayers to you when you punish them.
Call to me in times of trouble. I will save you, and you will honor me.”
Anyone who is having troubles should pray. Anyone who is happy should sing praises.
Then I will go back to my place until they suffer for their guilt and turn back to me. In their trouble they will look for me.”
You may drink from the stream, and I have commanded ravens to bring you food there.”
