Jonah 2

1 And Jonah prays to his God YHWH from the bowels of the fish.2 And he says: "I called, because of my distress, to YHWH, || And He answers me, || From the belly of Sheol I have cried, || You have heard my voice.3 When You cast me [into] the deep, || Into the heart of the seas, || Then the flood surrounds me, || All Your breakers and Your billows have passed over me.4 And I said: I have been cast out from before Your eyes || (Yet I add to look to Your holy temple!)5 Waters have surrounded me to the soul, || The deep surrounds me, || The weed is bound to my head.6 To the cuttings of mountains I have come down, || The earth, her bars [are] behind me for all time. And You bring my life up from the pit, O YHWH my God.7 In the feebleness of my soul within me, || I have remembered YHWH, || And my prayer comes to You, || Into Your holy temple.8 Those observing lying vanities forsake their own mercy.9 And I—with a voice of thanksgiving—I sacrifice to You, || That which I have vowed I complete, || Salvation [is] of YHWH."

10 And YHWH speaks to the fish, and it vomits Jonah out on the dry land.
