Jonah 2:1-10
Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the stomach of the fishand said,“ I called out to the LORD from my distress, and he answered me; from the belly of Sheol I cried out for help, and you heard my prayer.You threw me into the deep waters, into the middle of the sea; the ocean current engulfed me; all the mighty waves you sent swept over me.I thought I had been banished from your sight, that I would never again see your holy temple!Water engulfed me up to my neck; the deep ocean surrounded me; seaweed was wrapped around my head.I went down to the very bottoms of the mountains; the gates of the netherworld barred me in forever; but you brought me up from the Pit, O LORD, my God.When my life was ebbing away, I called out to the LORD, and my prayer came to your holy temple.Those who worship worthless idols forfeit the mercy that could be theirs.But as for me, I promise to offer a sacrifice to you with a public declaration of praise; I will surely do what I have promised. Salvation belongs to the LORD!”Then the LORD commanded the fish and it disgorged Jonah on dry land.
