1 1:17And 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 2:1Then Jonah made prayer to the Lord his God from the inside of the fish, and said,
3 2:2In 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 2:3For 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 2:4And I said, I have been sent away from before your eyes; how may I ever again see your holy Temple?
6 2:5The waters were circling round me, even to the neck; the deep was about me; the sea-grass was twisted round my head.
7 2:6I 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 2:7When 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 2:8The worshippers of false gods have given up their only hope.
10 2:9But 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 2:10And at the Lord's order, the fish sent Jonah out of its mouth on to the dry land.
