Jonah2
1And Jonah prayed to Yahweh his God from the belly of the fish2and said,“I called ⸤from my distress⸥ to Yahweh,and he answered me;from the belly of Sheol I cried for help—you heard my voice.3And you threw me into the deep,into the heart of the seas,and the sea currents surrounded me;all your breakers and your surging wavespassed over me.4And I said, ‘I am banished from your sight;how ⸤will I continue to look⸥ ⸤on your holy temple⸥?’ 5The waters encompassed me up to my neck;the deep surrounded me;seaweed was wrapped around my head.6I went down to the foundations of the mountains;the Underworld—its bars were around me forever.But you brought up my life from the pit,Yahweh my God.7When my life was ebbing away from me,I remembered Yahweh,and my prayer came to you,⸤to your holy temple⸥. 8Those who worship vain idolsforsake their loyal love. 9But I, with a voice of thanksgiving,will sacrifice to you;I will fulfill what I have vowed.Deliverance belongs to Yahweh!”10And Yahweh spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out on the dry land.
