Jonah 2:2-5

English Standard Version

^(A)“I called out to the Lord, out of my distress,
    and he answered me;
^(B)out of the belly of Sheol I cried,
    ^(C)and you heard my voice.
^3 (D)For you cast me into the deep,
    into the heart of the seas,
    and the flood surrounded me;
^(E)all your breakers and your waves
    passed over me.
^4 (F)Then I said, ‘I am driven away
    from your sight;
^(G)yet I shall again look
    upon your holy temple.’
^5 (H)The waters closed in over me ^(I)to take my life;
    the deep surrounded me;
weeds were wrapped about my head.
