Chapter 2  
     
1.
Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish's belly,
 
2.
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 you heardest my voice.
 
3.
For you hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods surrounded me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
 
4.
Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
 
5.
The waters surrounded me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
 
6.
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet have you brought up my life from corruption, O Lord my God.
 
7.
When my soul fainted within me I remembered the Lord: and my prayer came in unto thee, into your holy temple.
 
8.
They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
 
9.
But I will sacrifice unto you with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord.
 
10.
And the Lord spoke unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
