Jonah 2

Text size

1 Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish’s belly ⚑

2 And said I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD and he heard me out of the belly of hell cried I and thou heardest my voice ⚑

3 For thou hadst cast me into the deep in the midst of the seas and the floods compassed me about all thy billows and thy waves passed over me ⚑

4 Then I said I am cast out of thy sight yet I will look again toward thy holy temple ⚑

5 The waters compassed me about even to the soul the depth closed me round about the weeds were wrapped about my head ⚑

6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains the earth with her bars was about me for ever yet hast thou brought 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 ⚑

8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy ⚑

9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving I will pay that that I have vowed Salvation is of the LORD ⚑

10 And the LORD spake unto the fish and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land ⚑
