2:1 Yonah’s prayer
2 And Yonah (Jonah) prayed to Yahweh his god from the belly of the fish. 2 And he said,
“I called to you Yahweh in my distress and you answered me. I cried for help from the valley of death and you heard my voice. 3 You have thrown me right into the deep—the heart of the sea; and a flood surrounds me. All your waves are crashing over me.
4 And I said, ‘I have been driven out of your sight however I will look again towards your holy temple.’
5 I was up to my neck in the waters; it was deep all around me. There were reeds wrapped around my head.
6 I went down to the foundations of the mountains; barred from returning to the land. But you saved my life from the grave, Yahweh my god.
7 When my life was draining away from me, I remembered you, Yahweh, and my prayer reached you in your holy temple.
8 Those who worship lifeless gods abandon their allegiance to you.
9 But I’ll speak out my gratitude as I sacrifice to you. I’ve vowed this and I’ll do it, because Yahweh is my rescuer.”
10 Then Yahweh spoke to the fish and it vomited Yonah (Jonah) up onto the land.
