Jonah
Chapter 2
1
Then Jonah prayed unto Jehovah/God
his
'Elohiym/Godhead
out
of the fish's belly.
2
And said,
"I
cried by reason of my affliction unto Jehovah/God,
and
He heard me.
Out
of the belly of the grave/Sheol
I
cried, and You heard my voice. 3
For
You had cast me into the deep,
in
the midst of the seas
and
the floods compassed me about.
All Your billows and your waves passed over me."
4
Then I said,
"I
am cast out of Your sight
yet
I will look again toward Your holy temple. 5
The
waters compassed me about,
even
to the soul.
The
depth closed me round about,
the
weeds were wrapped about my head. 6
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains.
The
earth with her bars was about me forever
yet
You have brought up my life
from
destruction/'the grave' {shachath},
O
Jehovah/God my 'Elohiym/Godhead. 7
When
my soul fainted within me
I
remembered Jehovah/God
and
my prayer came in unto You,
into
Your holy temple. 8~~
Those
who observe lying emptinesses
forsake
their own 'grace operations' {checed}. 9
But
I will sacrifice unto You
with
the voice of thanksgiving.
{synonym for 'Occupation with Christ'}
I will pay that that I have vowed.
Deliverance is of Jehovah/God."
10
And Jehovah/God spoke unto the fish,
and
it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
