Jonah 2:2–3

He said:

“In my distress I called to the Lord,

and he answered me.

From deep in the realm of the dead I called for help,

and you listened to my cry.

You hurled me into the depths,

into the very heart of the seas,

and the currents swirled about me;

all your waves and breakers

swept over me.

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.

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.

He said,

“I cried out to the Lord in my great trouble,

and he answered me.

I called to you from the land of the dead,

and Lord, you heard me!

You threw me into the ocean depths,

and I sank down to the heart of the sea.

The mighty waters engulfed me;

I was buried beneath your wild and stormy waves.

and 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.

And you threw me into the deep,

into the heart of the seas,

and the sea currents surrounded me;

all your breakers and your surging waves

passed over me.

And said,

I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the Lord, and he heard me;

Out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.

For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas;

And the floods compassed me about:

All thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
