- To the roots of the mountains I sank down; the earth beneath barred me in forever. But you brought my life up from the pit, O LORD my God.
- "When my life was ebbing away, I remembered you, LORD, and my prayer rose to you, to your holy temple.
- "Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs.
- But I, with a song of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to you. What I have vowed I will make good. Salvation comes from the LORD."
- And the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.

- "I descended to the roots of the mountains The earth with its bars was around me forever, But You have brought up my life from the pit, O LORD my God.
- "While I was fainting away, I remembered the LORD, And my prayer came to You, Into Your holy temple.
- "Those who regard vain idols Forsake their faithfulness,
- But I will sacrifice to You With the voice of thanksgiving That which I have vowed I will pay Salvation is from the LORD."
- Then the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah up onto the dry land.
