2:1And the Lord prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah: and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. 2:2And Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish, and said: ["I cried out of my tribulation to the Lord, and he heard me; 2:3from the belly of the underworld I cried, and you heard my voice. 2:4And you cast me into the deep, in the heart of the sea, and the flood surrounded me: all your whirlpools and your waves passed over me. 2:5And I said: 'I have been cast away from the sight of your eyes; 2:5yet I will see your holy temple again.' 2:6The waters surrounded me even to the soul: the abyss walled me in, the open sea covered my head.
2:7I went down to the furthest parts of the mountains; 2:7the bars of the earth shut me in for ever: and you will lift up my life from corruption, Lord my God. 2:8When my soul was in anguish within me, I remembered the Lord: that my prayer may come to you, to your holy temple. 2:9Those who keep vanities in vain forsake their own mercy. 2:10But I with the voice of praise will sacrifice to you: whatever I have vowed, I will pay to the Lord for salvation."] And the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out onto the dry land.
