The King James Version Bible

Jonah 2:2-6

  1. And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.

  2. For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.

  3. Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.

  4. The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.

  5. I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.
