Jonah 2:4-7

View Full Chapter

4I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.’

5The engulfing waters threatened me, Or waters were at my throat the deep surrounded me; seaweed was wrapped around my head.

6To the roots of the mountains I sank down; the earth beneath barred me in forever. But you, LORD my God, brought my life up from the pit.

7“When my life was ebbing away, I remembered you, LORD, and my prayer rose to you, to your holy temple.
