Jonah 2:7-9

Easy-to-Read Version

⁷ “My soul gave up all hope,
    but then I remembered the Lord.
I prayed to you,
    and you heard my prayers in your holy Temple.

⁸ “Some people worship useless idols,
    but those statues never help them.^[a]
9 I will give sacrifices to you,
    and I will praise and thank you.
I will make special promises to you,
    and I will do what I promise.”
