Jonah 2:2-6 ▼

2 I called to the LORD in my distress, and he answered me. I cried out for help from deep inside Sheol; you heard my voice.

3 When you threw me into the depths, into the heart of the seas, the current overcame me. All your breakers and your billows swept over me.

4 And I said, “I have been banished from your sight, yet I will look once more toward your holy temple.”

5 The water engulfed me up to the neck; the watery depths overcame me; seaweed was wrapped around my head.

6 I sank to the foundations of the mountains, the earth’s gates shut behind me forever! Then you raised my life from the Pit, LORD my God!
