Jonah’s Prayer and Deliverance

17 Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah. And (A)Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

Jonah’s Prayer and God’s Answer

Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the fish’s belly. And he said:

“I (B)cried out to the Lord because of my affliction,
(C)And He answered me.

“Out of the belly of Sheol I cried,
And You heard my voice.
(D)For You cast me into the deep,
Into the heart of the seas,
And the floods surrounded me;
(E)All Your billows and Your waves passed over me.
(F)Then I said, ‘I have been cast out of Your sight;
Yet I will look again (G)toward Your holy temple.’
