Jonah 2:5-7

Complete Jewish Bible

^5 (4) I thought, ‘I have been banished from your sight.’
But I will again look at your holy temple.
^6 (5) The water surrounded me, threatened my life;
the deep closed over me, seaweed twined around my head.
^7 (6) I was going down to the bottoms of the mountains,
to a land whose bars would close me in forever;
but you brought me up alive from the pit,
Adonai, my God!
