Jonah 1:17-2:5
New American Standard Bible
17 [a]And the Lord designated a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the (A)stomach of the fish for three days and three nights.
Jonah’s Prayer
2 [b]Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God (B)from the stomach of the fish, 2 and he said,
“I (C)called out of my distress to the Lord,
And He answered me.
I called for help from the [c]depth of (D)Sheol;
You heard my voice.
3 For You (E)threw me into the deep,
Into the heart of the seas,
And the current flowed around me.
All Your (F)breakers and waves passed over me.
4 So I said, ‘I have been (G)cast out [d]of Your sight.
Nevertheless I will look again (H)toward Your holy temple.’
5 (I)Water encompassed me to the [e]point of death.
The (J)deep flowed around me,
Seaweed was wrapped around my head.
