1Then Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish’s belly.
1Now the Lord prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah: and Jonah was in the belly of a fish for three days and three nights.
1And Jonah prayed unto Jehovah hisGod out of the fish's belly;
2And he said, I called by reason of mine affliction unto Jehovah, And he answered me; Out of the belly of Sheol cried I, And thou heardest my voice.
2And Jonah prayed to the Lord, his God, out of the belly of the fish.
2and he said: I cried by reason of my distress unto Jehovah, and he answered me; Out of the belly of Sheol cried I: thou heardest my voice.
3For thou didst cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, And the flood was round about me; All thy waves and thy billows passed over me.
3And he said: I cried out of my affliction to the Lord, and he heard me: I cried out of the belly of hell, and thou hast heard my voice.
3For thou didst cast me into the depth, into the heart of the seas, And the flood was round about me: All thy breakers and thy billows are gone over me.
4And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes; Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
4And thou hast cast me forth into the deep, in the heart of the sea, and a flood hast compassed me: all thy billows, and thy waves have passed over me.
4And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes, Yet will I look again toward thy holy temple.
5The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; The deep was round about me; The weeds were wrapped about my head.
5And I said: I am cast away out of the sight of thy eyes: but yet I shall see the holy temple again.
5The waters encompassed me, to the soul: The deep was round about me, The weeds were wrapped about my head.
6I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The earth with its bars closed upon me for ever: Yet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.
6The waters compassed me about even to the soul: the deep hath closed me round about, the sea hath covered my head.
6I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The bars of the earth [closed] upon me for ever: But thou hast brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah myGod.
7When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, into thy holy temple.
7I went down to the lowest parts of the mountains: the bars of the earth have shut me up for ever: and thou wilt bring up my life from corruption, O Lord, my God.
7When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, Into thy holy temple.
8They that regard lying vanities Forsake their own mercy.
8When my soul was in distress within me, I remembered the Lord: that my prayer may come to thee, unto the holy temple.
8They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
9But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.
9They that in vain observe vanities, forsake their own mercy.
9But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.
