- And Ionas prayed vnto the Lorde his God out of the fisshes belly.
- 2
- And saide: In affliction I cryed vnto the Lorde, and he heard me: out of the belly of hell cryed I, and thou heardest my voyce.
- 3
- Thou haddest cast me downe into the deepe, into the middest of the sea, and the floods compassed me about: all thy billowes and waues passed ouer me.
- 4
- And I saide: I am cast away out of thy sight, yet wyll I loke againe toward thyne holy temple.
- 5
- The waters compassed me euen vnto the soule, the deapth closed me on euery side, and the weedes were wrapt about my head.
- 6
- I went downe to the bottome of the mountaines, the earth with her barres was about me for euer: yet hast thou brought vp my lyfe from corruption, O Lorde my God.
- 7
- When my soule fainted within me, I remembred the Lorde, and my prayer came in vnto thee into thy holy temple.
- 8
- They that holde vpon lying vanitie, forsake his mercie.
- 9
- But I wyll sacrifice vnto thee with the voyce of thankesgeuing, and wyll pay that that I haue vowed: for saluation is of the Lorde.
- 10
- And the Lorde spake vnto the fisshe, and it cast out Ionas vpon the drye lande.
