Jonah 2:1-3

The Voice

2 To his God, the Eternal, Jonah prayed from inside this great fish.

Jonah reveals in his prayer a change of heart: he thanks God for saving him from the angry sea.

²Jonah: With desperate cries
        I beckoned the Eternal to hear, and He answered me.
    From the belly, the place of death, I cried out to You,
        and You have responded to my voice.
³    You threw me into the watery depths
        and cast me into the middle of the chaotic seas.
    The waters closed in around me;
        Your waves broke over me;
        Your surf swelled as I sank into the depths.
