Jonas 2

¹And our Lord prepared a great fish to swallow down Jonas: and Jonas was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

²And Jonas prayed to our Lord his God out of the belly of the fish.

³And he said: I cried out of my tribulation to our Lord, & he hath heard me: out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou hast heard my voice.

⁴And thou hast cast me forth into the depth in the heart of the sea, & a flood hath compassed me: all thy surges, and thy waves have passed over me.

⁵And I said: I am cast away from the sight of thine eyes: but yet I shall see thy holy temple again.

⁶The waters have compassed me even to the soul: the depth hath inclosed me, the sea hath covered my head.

⁷I am descended to the extreme parts of the mountains: the bars of the earth have shut me up for ever: and thou wilt lift up my life from corruption, o Lord my God.

⁸When my soul was in distress within me, I remembered our Lord: that my prayer may come to thee unto thy holy temple.

⁹They that keep vanities in vain, forsake their mercy.

¹⁰But I in the voice of praise will immolate to thee: what things soever I have vowed I will render for salvation to our Lord.

¹¹And our Lord spake to the fish: and it vomited up Jonas upon the dry land.
