1. But the LORD sent a large fish, that swallowed Jonah; and he remained in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
|
1. Then Jonah H3124 prayed H6419 unto H413 the LORD H3068 his God H430 out of the fish H1710 's belly H4480 H4578 ,
|
|
2. From the belly of the fish Jonah said this prayer to the LORD, his God:
|
2. And said H559 , I cried H7121 by reason of mine affliction H4480 H6869 unto H413 the LORD H3068 , and he heard H6030 me ; out of the belly H4480 H990 of hell H7585 cried H7768 I, and thou heardest H8085 my voice H6963 .
|
|
3. Out of my distress I called to the LORD, and he answered me; From the midst of the nether world I cried for help, and you heard my voice.
|
3. For thou hadst cast H7993 me into the deep H4688 , in the midst H3824 of the seas H3220 ; and the floods H5104 compassed me about H5437 : all H3605 thy billows H4867 and thy waves H1530 passed H5674 over H5921 me.
|
|
4. For you cast me into the deep, into the heart of the sea, and the flood enveloped me; All your breakers and your billows passed over me.
|
4. Then I H589 said H559 , I am cast out H1644 of H4480 H5048 thy sight H5869 ; yet H389 I will look H5027 again H3254 toward H413 thy holy H6944 temple H1964 .
|
|
5. Then I said, "I am banished from your sight! yet would I again look upon your holy temple."
|
5. The waters H4325 compassed me about H661 , even to H5704 the soul H5315 : the depth H8415 closed me round about H5437 , the weeds H5488 were wrapped H2280 about my head H7218 .
|
|
6. The waters swirled about me, threatening my life; the abyss enveloped me; seaweed clung about my head.
|
6. I went down H3381 to the bottoms H7095 of the mountains H2022 ; the earth H776 with her bars H1280 was about H1157 me forever H5769 : yet hast thou brought up H5927 my life H2416 from corruption H4480 H7845 , O LORD H3068 my God H430 .
|
|
7. Down I went to the roots of the mountains; the bars of the nether world were closing behind me forever, But you brought my life up from the pit, O LORD, my God.
|
7. When my soul H5315 fainted H5848 within H5921 me I remembered H2142 H853 the LORD H3068 : and my prayer H8605 came in H935 unto H413 thee, into H413 thine holy H6944 temple H1964 .
|
|
8. When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD; My prayer reached you in your holy temple.
|
8. They that observe H8104 lying H7723 vanities H1892 forsake H5800 their own mercy H2617 .
|
|
9. Those who worship vain idols forsake their source of mercy.
|
9. But I H589 will sacrifice H2076 unto thee with the voice H6963 of thanksgiving H8426 ; I will pay H7999 that that H834 I have vowed H5087 . Salvation H3444 is of the LORD H3068 .
|
|
10. But I, with resounding praise, will sacrifice to you; What I have vowed I will pay: deliverance is from the LORD.
|
10. And the LORD H3068 spoke H559 unto the fish H1709 , and it vomited out H6958 H853 Jonah H3124 upon H413 the dry H3004 land .
|
|
11. Then the LORD commanded the fish to spew Jonah upon the shore.
|
11.
