Jonah 2

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,	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.
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.	2 From the bel y of the fish, Jonah prayed to Yahweh, his God; he said:
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.	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!
4 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.	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;
5 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.	5 then I thought, 'I am banished from your sight; how shal I ever see your holy Temple again?'
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.	6 The waters round me rose to my neck, the deep was closing round me, seaweed twining round myhead.
7 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.	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!
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.	8 When my soul was growing ever weaker, Yahweh, I remembered you, and my prayer reached you inyour holy Temple.
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.	9 Some abandon their faithful love by worshipping false gods,
10 And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.	10 but I shal sacrifice to you with songs of praise. The vow I have made I shall fulfil! Salvation comesfrom Yahweh!
	11 Yahweh spoke to the fish, which then vomited Jonah onto the dry land.
