Jonah 21 (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.
