But the LORD prepared a great fish, to swallow up Jonah. And so was Jonah in the bowels of the fish three days and three nights.

The water compassed me even unto the very soul of me; the deep lay about me, and the weeds were wrapped about mine head.

When my soul fainted in me, I thought on the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, even into thy holy temple.

And as soon as the sun was up, God prepared a fervent east wind: so that the sun beat over the head of Jonah, that he fainted again and wished unto his soul that he might die, and said, "It is better for me to die than to live."
