Jonah 2:1-4 New English Translation (NET)

1. Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the stomach of the fish

2. and said, “I called out to the Lord from my distress, and he answered me; from the belly of Sheol I cried out for help, and you heard my prayer.

3. You threw me into the deep waters, into the middle of the sea; the ocean current engulfed me;all the mighty waves you sent swept over me.

4. I thought I had been banished from your sight,that I would never again see your holy temple!
