Jonah 2

2 ¹ Then Jonah prayed to our Father from inside the fish: ² In my distress I called to my Father, and he answered me; from the grave's belly I cried for help, and you heard my voice. ³ You hurled me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the currents swirled around me; all your breakers and your waves swept over me. ⁴ Then I said, 'I have been driven away from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.' ⁵ The waters closed in over me to the point of death; the deep surrounded me; seaweed was wrapped around my head. ⁶ I sank down to the roots of the mountains; the earth shut its gates behind me forever. But you brought my life up from the pit, my Father. ⁷ As my life was ebbing away, I remembered my Father, and my prayer rose to you, to your holy temple. ⁸ Those who cling to worthless idols walk away from the love that could be theirs. ⁹ But I will sacrifice to you with grateful praise; I will keep every vow I have made. Salvation belongs to our Father!

¹⁰ Then our Father spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out onto the dry land.
