1Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish,2saying, “I called out to the Lord, out of my distress, and he answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and you heard my voice. (مز 3:4; مز 118:5; مز 120:1; مرا 3:55; مرا 3:56)3For you cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the flood surrounded me; all your waves and your billows passed over me. (مز 42:7; مز 88:6)4Then I said, ‘I am driven away from your sight; yet I shall again look upon your holy temple.’ (1مل 8:35; 1مل 8:38; مز 31:22)5The waters closed in over me to take my life; the deep surrounded me; weeds were wrapped about my head (مز 69:1; مرا 3:54)6at the roots of the mountains. I went down to the land whose bars closed upon me forever; yet you brought up my life from the pit, O Lord my God.7When my life was fainting away, I remembered the Lord, and my prayer came to you, into your holy temple. (2أخ 30:27)8Those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their hope of steadfast love. (2مل 17:15; مز 31:6; إر 2:5; إر 2:13)9But I with the voice of thanksgiving will sacrifice to you; what I have vowed I will pay. Salvation belongs to the Lord!” (مز 3:8; مز 50:14; هو 14:2; عب 13:15)10And the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land.
