- Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,
- And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.
- For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
- Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
- The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.

- Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the stomach of the fish,
- and he said, "I called out of my distress to the LORD, And He answered me I cried for help from the depth of Sheol; You heard my voice.
- "For You had cast me into the deep, Into the heart of the seas, And the current engulfed me All Your breakers and billows passed over me.
- "So I said, 'I have been expelled from Your sight Nevertheless I will look again toward Your holy temple.'
- "Water encompassed me to the point of death The great deep engulfed me, Weeds were wrapped around my head.
