Jonah's Prayer

Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish, saying,

(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.
(D)For you cast me into the deep,
    into the heart of the seas,
    and the flood surrounded me;
(E)all your waves and your billows
    passed over me.
(F)Then I said, ‘I am driven away
    from your sight;

19 For after (C)I had turned away, I relented,
    and after I was instructed, (D)I struck my thigh;
(E)I was ashamed, and I was confounded,
    because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’
20 (F)Is Ephraim my dear son?
    (G)Is he my darling child?
For as often as I speak against him,
    I do remember him still.
(H)Therefore my heart[a] yearns for him;

For day and night your (C)hand was heavy upon me;

I (D)acknowledged my sin to you,

I said, “I (E)will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
    and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah

    and with continual strife in his (B)bones,
20 so that his (C)life loathes bread,
