JONAH
CHAPTER 2
Jonah prays to the Lord, and the fish vomits him out on dry ground.
THEN Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fishs belly,

And said, I cried by reason of mine aaffliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of bhell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.

For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.

Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy atemple.

The waters compassed me about, aeven to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.

I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou abrought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.

When my soul fainted within me I aremembered the LORD: and my bprayer came in unto thee, into thine holy ctemple.

They that observe alying vanities forsake their own mercy.

But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have avowed. bSalvation is of the LORD.

¶ And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
