Jonah

The story about Jonah pray in the belly of the fish, From Bible Jonah 1:17, 2:1-10

1:17 Now the Lord provided a huge fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

2:1 From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the Lord his God.

2:2 He said: “In my distress I called to the Lord, and he answered me. From deep in the realm of the dead I called for help, and you listened to my cry.

2:3 You hurled me into the depths, into the very heart of the seas, and the currents swirled about me; all your waves and breakers swept over me.

2:4 I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.’

2:5 The engulfing waters threatened me, the deep surrounded me; seaweed was wrapped around my head.

2:6 To the roots of the mountains I sank down; the earth beneath barred me in forever. But you, Lord my God, brought my life up from the pit.

2:7 “When my life was ebbing away, I remembered you, Lord, and my prayer rose to you, to your holy temple.

2:8 “Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from God’s love for them.

2:9 But I, with shouts of grateful praise, will sacrifice to you. What I have vowed I will make good. I will say, ‘Salvation comes from the Lord.’ ”

2:10 And the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
