Jonah 2:2-4

Expanded Bible

² “When I was in ·danger [distress],
    I called to the Lord,
    and he answered me.
·I was about to die [^LFrom the belly of Sheol; ^Cthe place of the dead],
    so I cried to you,
    and you heard my voice.
³ You threw me into the ·sea [ocean depths; deep],
    down, down into the ·deep [^Lheart of the] sea.
The ·water [flood] ·was all around [engulfed] me,
    and your ·powerful [surging; billowing] waves ·flowed [swept] over me.
⁴ I said, ‘I was ·driven out of your presence [banished from your sight],
    ·but I hope to see [yet I will look toward] your Holy Temple again.’
