Jonah Chapter 2

1Then Jonah prayed to ForeverOne, his God, out of the fish's belly.

2He said, "I called because of my affliction to ForeverOne. He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried. You heard my voice.

3For you threw me into the depths, in the heart of the seas. The flood was all around me. All your waves and your billows passed over me.

4I said, 'I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.' 5The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The deep was around me. The weeds were wrapped around my head.

6I went down to the bottoms of the mountains. The earth barred me in forever; yet you have brought up my life from the pit, ForeverOne my God.

7"When my soul fainted within me, I remembered ForeverOne. My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple.

8Those who regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

9But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay what I have vowed. Salvation belongs to ForeverOne." 10ForeverOne spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah on the dry land.
