1 Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish’s belly.
And Jonas prayed to the Lord his God out of the belly of the fish.
2 And he said, I called by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he answered me; out of the belly of hell cried I, [and] thou heardest my voice. (Sheol h7585)
And he said: I cried out of my affliction to the Lord, and he heard me: I cried out of the belly of hell, and thou hast heard my voice. (Sheol h7585)
3 For thou didst cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, and the flood was round about me; all thy waves and thy billows passed over me.
And thou hast cast me forth into the deep in the heart of the sea, and a flood hath compassed me: all thy billows, and thy waves have passed over me.
4 And I said, am cast out from before thine eyes; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
And I said: I am cast away out of the sight of thy eyes: but yet I shall see thy holy temple again.
5 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; the deep was round about me; the weeds were wrapped about my head.
The waters compassed me about even to the soul: the deep hath closed me round about, the sea hath covered my head.
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars [closed] upon me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, O LORD my God.
I went down to the lowest parts of the mountains: the bars of the earth have shut me up for ever: and thou wilt bring 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.
When my soul was in distress within me, I remembered the Lord: that my prayer may come to thee, unto thy holy temple.
8 They that regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
They that are vain observe vanities, forsake their own mercy.
9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.
But I with the voice of praise will sacrifice to thee: I will pay whatsoever I have vowed for my salvation to the Lord.
10 And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
And the Lord spoke to the fish: and it vomited out Jonas upon the dry land.
