Jonah 2:4

Jonah Is Swallowed By A Fish And Prays To Yahweh

³ You threw me into the depths,
into the heart of the seas,
and the current overcame me.
All Your breakers and Your billows swept over me.
⁴ But I said: I have been banished
from Your sight,
yet I will look once more
toward Your holy temple.
⁵ The waters engulfed me up to the neck;
the watery depths overcame me;
seaweed was wrapped around my head.
