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.

New International Version
4 I said, ‘I have been banished
from your sight;(A)
yet I will look again
toward your holy temple.’(B)
5 The engulfing waters threatened me,[a]
the deep surrounded me;
seaweed was wrapped around my head.(C)
6 To the roots of the mountains(D) I sank down;
the earth beneath barred me in forever.
But you, Lord my God,
brought my life up from the pit.(E)
