Jonah 2:1–3 · Berean Standard Bible

1 From inside the fish, Jonah prayed to the LORD his God,

2 saying: “In my distress I called to the LORD, and He answered me. From the belly of Sheol I called for help, and You heard my voice.

3 For You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the current swirled about me; all Your breakers and waves swept over me.
