Jonah 2:4-6

International Children’s Bible

⁴ I said, ‘I was driven out of your presence.
    But I hope to see your Holy Temple again.’
⁵ The waters of the sea closed over me.
I was about to die.
The deep sea was all around me.
    Seaweed wrapped around my head.
⁶ I went down to where the mountains of the sea start to rise.
    I thought I was locked in this prison forever.
But you saved me from death,
    Lord my God.
