Jonah 2:1

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,

So the Lord sent against them the captains of the army of Assyria, who made Manasseh a prisoner and took him away in chains to Babylon.

When his cry comes up to me, I will give him an answer: I will be with him in trouble; I will make him free from danger and give him honour.

Lord, in trouble our eyes have been turned to you, we sent up a prayer when your punishment was on us.

I will go back to my place till they are made waste; in their trouble they will go after me early and will make search for me.

Come, let us go back to the Lord; for he has given us wounds and he will make us well; he has given blows and he will give help.

Is anyone among you in trouble? let him say prayers. Is anyone glad? let him make a song of praise.

Truly, he will put an end to me; I have no hope; but I will not give way in argument before him;

Out of the deep have I sent up my cry to you, O Lord.

They have put an end to my life in the prison, stoning me with stones.

And he, having such orders, put them into the inner prison with chains on their feet.
