Jonah 2:4-6

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁴ “Then I thought,
‘I have been banished from your sight.
Will I ever see your holy temple again?’

⁵ “Water surrounded me, threatening my life.
The deep ⌞sea⌟ covered me completely.
Seaweed was wrapped around my head.
⁶ I sank to the foot of the mountains.
I sank to the bottom,
where bars held me forever.
But you brought me back from the pit, O Lord, my God.
