Jonah 2:4–5

4 I said, ‘I have been banished

from your sight;

yet I will look again

toward your holy temple.’

5 The engulfing waters threatened me,

the deep surrounded me;

seaweed was wrapped around my head.

4 Then I said, ‘I am driven away

from your sight;

yet I shall again look

upon your holy temple.’

5 The waters closed in over me to take my life;

the deep surrounded me;

weeds were wrapped about my head

4 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight;

Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.

5 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul:

The depth closed me round about,

The weeds were wrapped about my head.

4 Then I said, ‘O Lord, you have driven me from your presence.

Yet I will look once more toward your holy Temple.’

5 “I sank beneath the waves,

and the waters closed over me.

Seaweed wrapped itself around my head.

4 I said, ‘I was driven out of your presence,

but I hope to see your Holy Temple again.’

5 The waters of the sea closed around my throat.

The deep sea was all around me;

seaweed was wrapped around my head.

4 And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes;

Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.

5 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul;

The deep was round about me;

The weeds were wrapped about my head.

4 And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes, Yet will I look again toward thy holy temple. 5 The waters encompassed me, to the soul: The deep was round about me, The weeds were wrapped about my head.

4 “Then I thought, 

‘I have been banished from your sight. 

Will I ever see your holy temple again?’ 

5 “Water surrounded me, threatening my life. 

The deep ⸤sea⸥ covered me completely. 

Seaweed was wrapped around my head. 

4 But I said: I have been banished

from Your sight,

yet I will look once more

toward Your holy temple.

5 The waters engulfed me up to the neck;

the watery depths overcame me;

seaweed was wrapped around my head.

4 Then I said, ‘I am driven away

from your sight;

how shall I look again

upon your holy temple?’

5 The waters closed in over me;

the deep surrounded me;

weeds were wrapped around my head

4 And I said, ‘I am banished

from your sight;

how will I continue to look

on your holy temple?’

5 The waters encompassed me up to my neck;

the deep surrounded me;

seaweed was wrapped around my head.

4 I said, ‘I have been driven away from you.

But I will look again

toward your holy temple in Jerusalem.’

5 I had almost drowned in the waves.

The deep waters were all around me.

Seaweed was wrapped around my head.

4 “So I said, ‘I have been expelled from Your sight.

Nevertheless I will look again toward Your holy temple.’

5 “Water encompassed me to the point of death.

The great deep engulfed me,

Weeds were wrapped around my head.
