Jonah 2

NEW JERUSALEM	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Now Yahweh ordained that a great fish should swal ow Jonah; and Jonah remained in the bel y of thefish for three days and three nights.	1 Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,
2 From the bel y of the fish, Jonah prayed to Yahweh, his God; he said:	2 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.
3 Out of my distress I cried to Yahweh and he answered me, from the bel y of Sheol I cried out; you heardmy voice!	3 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.
4 For you threw me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the floods closed round me. Al yourwaves and bil ows passed over me;	4 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
5 then I thought, 'I am banished from your sight; how shal I ever see your holy Temple again?'	5 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
6 The waters round me rose to my neck, the deep was closing round me, seaweed twining round myhead.	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.
7 To the roots of the mountains, I sank into the underworld, and its bars closed round me for ever. But youraised my life from the Pit, Yahweh my God!	7 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
8 When my soul was growing ever weaker, Yahweh, I remembered you, and my prayer reached you inyour holy Temple.	8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
9 Some abandon their faithful love by worshipping false gods,	9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.
10 but I shal sacrifice to you with songs of praise. The vow I have made I shall fulfil! Salvation comesfrom Yahweh!	10 And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
11 Yahweh spoke to the fish, which then vomited Jonah onto the dry land.
