# Jonah 2 [[Jonah-01|← Jonah 01]] | [[Jonah]] | [[Jonah-03|Jonah 03 →]] *** ###### v1 Then Jonah prayed to Yahweh, his God, out of the fish's belly. ###### v2 He said, "I called because of my affliction to Yahweh. He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried. You heard my voice. ###### v3 For 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. ###### v4 I said, 'I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.' ###### v5 The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The deep was around me. The weeds were wrapped around my head. ###### v6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains. The earth barred me in forever: yet have you brought up my life from the pit, Yahweh my God. ###### v7 "When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Yahweh. My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple. ###### v8 Those who regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy. ###### v9 But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to Yahweh." ###### v10 Then Yahweh spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah on the dry land. *** [[Jonah-01|← Jonah 01]] | [[Jonah]] | [[Jonah-03|Jonah 03 →]]
