Jonah 2
|
 (2:1-2) Jonah prays to God from his fish-belly hell.
(2:1) "Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly."
(2:2) "Out of the belly of hell cried I."
 (2:3) "For thou hadst cast me into the deep."
Who cast Jonah into the sea?
|
| 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) "The LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land."
|
|
| 2:10
And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
