1 \\1:17\\Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

2 \\2:1\\Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,

3 \\2:2\\And said, I cried by reason of my affliction to the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardst my voice.

4 \\2:3\\For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods encompassed me: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.

5 \\2:4\\Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again towards thy holy temple.

6 \\2:5\\The waters encompassed me, even to the soul: the depth inclosed me on every side, the weeds were wrapped about my head.

7 \\2:6\\I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.

8 \\2:7\\When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came to thee, into thy holy temple.

9 \\2:8\\They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

10 \\2:9\\But I will sacrifice to thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.

11 \\2:10\\And the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
