[1] \1:17\And the Lord made ready a great fish to take Jonah into its
mouth; and Jonah was inside the fish for three days and three nights. [2]
\2:1\Then Jonah made prayer to the Lord his God from the inside of the
fish, and said, [3] \2:2\In my trouble I was crying to the Lord, and he
gave me an answer; out of the deepest underworld I sent up a cry, and you
gave ear to my voice. [4] \2:3\For you have put me down into the deep, into
the heart of the sea; and the river was round about me; all your waves and
your rolling waters went over me. [5] \2:4\And I said, I have been sent
away from before your eyes; how may I ever again see your holy Temple? [6]
\2:5\The waters were circling round me, even to the neck; the deep was
about me; the sea-grass was twisted round my head. [7] \2:6\I went down to
the bases of the mountains; as for the earth, her walls were about me for
ever: but you have taken up my life from the underworld, O Lord my God. [8]
\2:7\When my soul in me was overcome, I kept the memory of the Lord: and my
prayer came in to you, into your holy Temple. [9] \2:8\The worshippers of
false gods have given up their only hope. [10] \2:9\But I will make an
offering to you with the voice of praise; I will give effect to my oaths.
Salvation is the Lord's. [11] \2:10\And at the Lord's order, the fish sent
Jonah out of its mouth on to the dry land.
