Then Jonahprayeduntothe LORDhis Godout of the fish's belly, And said, I criedby reason of mine afflictionuntothe LORD, and he heardme; out of the bellyof hellcriedI, and thou heardestmy voice. For thou hadst castme into the deep, in the midstof the seas; and the floodscompassed me about: allthy billowsand thy wavespassedoverme. Then Isaid, I am cast outofthy sight; yetI will lookagaintowardthy holytemple. The waterscompassed me about, even tothe soul: the depthclosed me round about, the weedswere wrappedabout my head. I went downto the bottomsof the mountains; the earthwith her bars was aboutme forever: yet hast thou brought upmy lifefrom corruption, O LORDmy God. When my soulfaintedwithinme I rememberedthe LORD: and my prayercame inuntothee, intothine holytemple. They that observelyingvanitiesforsaketheir own mercy. But Iwill sacrificeunto thee with the voiceof thanksgiving; I will pay that thatI have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD. And the LORDspokeunto the fish, and it vomited outJonahuponthe dry land .
