Chapter 2
1 Now the Lord prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonas: and Jonas was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
2 And Jonas prayed to the Lord his God out of the belly of the fish.
3 And he said: I cried out of my affliction to the Lord, and he heard me: I cried out of the belly of hell, and you have heard my voice.
4 And you have cast me forth into the deep in the heart of the sea, and a flood has compassed me: all your billows, and your waves have passed over me.
5 And I said: I am cast away out of the sight of your eyes: but yet I shall see your holy temple again.
6 The waters compassed me about even to the soul: the deep has closed me round about, the sea has covered my head.
7 I went down to the lowest parts of the mountains: the bars of the earth have shut me up for ever: and you will bring up my life from corruption, O Lord my God.
8 When my soul was in distress within me, I remembered the Lord: that my prayer may come to you, unto your holy temple.
9 They that are vain observe vanities, forsake their own mercy.
10 But I with the voice of praise will sacrifice to you: I will pay whatsoever I have vowed for my salvation to the Lord.
11 And the Lord spoke to the fish: and it vomited out Jonas upon the dry land.
