2:1  Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's
belly,
 2:2  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.
 2:3  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.
 2:4  Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look
again toward thy holy temple.
 2:5  The waters compassed me about, [even] to the soul: the
depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my
head.
 2:6  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.
 2:7  When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and
my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
 2:8  They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
 2:9  But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of
thanksgiving; I will pay [that] that I have vowed. Salvation
[is] of the LORD.
 2:10  And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out
Jonah upon the dry [land].
