Jonah 2 - The Scriptures 1998

¹ And Yonah prayed to יהוה  his Elohim from the stomach of the fish.

² And he said, “I called to יהוה  because of my distress, and He answered me. From the stomach of the grave I cried, and You heard my voice.

³ “For You threw me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the floods surrounded me. All Your breakers and Your waves passed over me.

⁴ “So I said, ‘I have been driven away from Your eyes. Would I ever look again toward Your set-apart Hĕ

⁵ “Waters encompassed me, unto life, the deep closed around me, weeds were wrapped around my head.

⁶ “I went down to the base of the mountains, the earth with its bars were behind me forever. But You brought up my life from the pit, O יהוה, my Elohim.

⁷ “When my life fainted within me, I remembered יהוה. And my prayer went up to You, into Your set-apart Hĕ

⁸ “Those observing false worthlessnesses forsake their own kindness.

⁹ “But I offer to You with the voice of thanksgiving, I pay what I have vowed. Deliverance is of יהוה.”

¹⁰ Then יהוה  spoke to the fish, and it vomited Yonah on the dry land.
