Jonah 2:2-4

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²saying,

“I called to the Lord out of my distress,
    and he answered me;
out of the belly of Sheol I cried,
    and you heard my voice.
³You cast me into the deep,
    into the heart of the seas,
    and the flood surrounded me;
all your waves and your billows
    passed over me.^(A)
⁴Then I said, ‘I am driven away
    from your sight;
how^[a] shall I look again
    upon your holy temple?’^(B)
