2 Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish:aj
2 I called to the Lord in my distress,ak
and he answered me.
I cried out for help from deep insideC Sheol;al
you heard my voice.am
3 When you threw me into the depths,an
into the heart of the seas,ao
and the currentD overcame me.
All your breakers and your billows swept over me.ap
4 And I said, “I have been banishedaq
from your sight,ar
yet I will look once moreE
toward your holy temple.as
5 The water engulfed me up to the neck;F,at
the watery depths overcame me;
seaweed was wrapped around my head.au
6 I sank to the foundations of the mountains,av
the earth’s gates shut behind me forever!aw
Then you raised my lifeax from the Pit, Lord my God!ay
7 As my life was fading away,a
I remembered the Lord,b
and my prayer came to you,c
to your holy temple.d
8 Those who cherish worthless idolse
abandon their faithful love,f
9 but as for me, I will sacrificeg to you
with a voice of thanksgiving.h
I will fulfilli what I have vowed.
SalvationA belongs to the Lord.j
10 Then the Lord commanded the fish,k and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.

About Christian Standard BibleThe Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is a highly trustworthy, faithful translation that is proven to be the optimal blend of accuracy and readability. It’s as literal to the original as possible without sacrificing clarity. The CSB is poised to become the translation that pastors rely on and Bible readers turn to again and again to read and to share with others. The CSB is an original translation: more than 100 scholars from 17 denominations translated directly from the best available Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic source texts into English. Its source texts are the standard used by scholars and seminaries today. The CSB is trustworthy: the conservative, evangelical scholars of the CSB affirm the authority of Scripture as the inerrant Word of God and seek the highest level of faithfulness to the original and accuracy in their translation. These scholars and LifeWay, the non-profit ministry that stewards the CSB, also champion the Bible against cultural trends that would compromise its truths. The CSB is clear: it is as literal a translation of the ancient source texts as possible, but, in the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, it uses a more dynamic translation. In all cases, the intent is to convey the original meaning of God’s Word as faithfully and as clearly as possible. |
