¹ And Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish's belly;

² and he said: I cried by reason of my distress unto Jehovah, and he answered me; Out of the belly of Sheol cried I: thou heardest my voice.

³ For thou didst cast me into the depth, into the heart of the seas, And the flood was round about me: All thy breakers and thy billows are gone over me.

⁴ And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes, Yet will I look again toward thy holy temple.
