Jonah 2 — ASVBT

2Verse 1Then Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish’s belly.^{Verse 2}And he said,I called by reason of mine affliction unto Jehovah,
And he answered me;
Out of the belly of Sheol cried I,
And thou heardest my voice.
^{Verse 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.
^{Verse 4}And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes;
Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
^{Verse 5}The waters compassed me about, even to the soul;
The deep was round about me;
The weeds were wrapped about my head.
^{Verse 6}I went down to the bottoms of the mountains;
The earth with its bars closed upon me forever:
Yet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.
^{Verse 7}When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah;
And my prayer came in unto thee, into thy holy temple.
^{Verse 8}They that regard lying vanities
Forsake their own mercy.
^{Verse 9}But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving;
I will pay that which I have vowed.
Salvation is of Jehovah.^{Verse 10}And Jehovah spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
