1Then Jonah <03124> prayed <06419> (8691) unto the LORD <03068> his God <0430> out of the fish's <01710> belly <04578>_,
2And said <0559> (8799)_, I cried <07121> (8804) by reason of mine affliction <06869> unto the LORD <03068>_, and he heard <06030> (8799) me; out of the belly <0990> of hell <07585> cried <07768> (8765) I, [and] thou heardest <08085> (8804) my voice <06963>_. {by...: or, out of mine affliction} {hell: or, the grave}
3For thou hadst cast <07993> (8686) me into the deep <04688>_, in the midst <03824> of the seas <03220>_; and the floods <05104> compassed <05437> (8779) me about: all thy billows <04867> and thy waves <01530> passed over <05674> (8804) me. {midst: Heb. heart}
4Then I said <0559> (8804)_, I am cast out <01644> (8738) of thy sight <05869>_; yet I will look <05027> (8687) again <03254> (8686) toward thy holy <06944> temple <01964>_.
5The waters <04325> compassed me about <0661> (8804)_, [even] to the soul <05315>_: the depth <08415> closed me round about <05437> (8779)_, the weeds <05488> were wrapped about <02280> (8803) my head <07218>_.
6I went down <03381> (8804) to the bottoms <07095> of the mountains <02022>_; the earth <0776> with her bars <01280> [was] about me for ever <05769>_: yet hast thou brought up <05927> (8686) my life <02416> from corruption <07845>_, O LORD <03068> my God <0430>_. {bottoms: Heb. cuttings off} {corruption: or, the pit}
7When my soul <05315> fainted <05848> (8692) within me I remembered <02142> (8804) the LORD <03068>_: and my prayer <08605> came in <0935> (8799) unto thee, into thine holy <06944> temple <01964>_.
8They that observe <08104> (8764) lying <07723> vanities <01892> forsake <05800> (8799) their own mercy <02617>_.
9But I will sacrifice <02076> (8799) unto thee with the voice <06963> of thanksgiving <08426>_; I will pay <07999> (8762) [that] that I have vowed <05087> (8804)_. Salvation <03444> [is] of the LORD <03068>_.
10And the LORD <03068> spake <0559> (8799) unto the fish <01709>_, and it vomited out <06958> (8686) Jonah <03124> upon the dry <03004> [land].
