Jonah 2:2-4

Common English Bible

² “I called out to the Lord in my distress, and he answered me.
        From the belly of the underworld^[a] I cried out for help;
        you have heard my voice.
³ You had cast me into the depths in the heart of the seas,
        and the flood surrounds me.
        All your strong waves and rushing water passed over me.
⁴ So I said, ‘I have been driven away from your sight.
        Will I ever again look on your holy temple?
