Jonah 2

1And Jonah prayed to Yahweh his God from the belly of the fish

2and said,

“I called from my distress to Yahweh,

from the belly of Sheol I cried for help—

3And you threw me into the deep,

all your breakers and your surging waves

4And I said, ‘I am banished[#Or “expelled,” or “driven away”]

how will I continue to look

5The waters encompassed me up to my neck;

6I went down to the foundations of the mountains;

But you brought up my life from the pit,

7When my life was ebbing away from me,

and my prayer came to you,

8Those who worship vain idols

9But I, with a voice of thanksgiving,

I will fulfill what I have vowed.

10And Yahweh spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out on the dry land.
