Jonah 1:17-Jonah 2:10 - Jonah Is Swallowed By A Fish And Prays To Yahweh

¹⁷ The Lord sent a huge fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the stomach of the fish three days and three nights.

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! ⁵ Water engulfed me up to my neck; the deep ocean surrounded me; seaweed was wrapped around my head. ⁶ I went down to the very bottoms of the mountains; the gates of the netherworld barred me in forever; but you brought me up from the Pit, O Lord, my God. ⁷ When my life was ebbing away, I called out to the Lord, and my prayer came to your holy temple. ⁸ Those who worship worthless idols forfeit the mercy that could be theirs. ⁹ But as for me, I promise to offer a sacrifice to you with a public declaration of praise; I will surely do what I have promised. Salvation belongs to the Lord!"

¹⁰ Then the Lord commanded the fish and it disgorged Jonah on dry land.
