Jonah 2:6-8

New International Version

⁶ To the roots of the mountains^(A) I sank down;
    the earth beneath barred me in forever.
But you, Lord my God,
    brought my life up from the pit.^(B)

⁷ “When my life was ebbing away,
    I remembered^(C) you, Lord,
and my prayer^(D) rose to you,
    to your holy temple.^(E)

⁸ “Those who cling to worthless idols^(F)
    turn away from God’s love for them.
