Jonah 2:4-6
GOD’S WORD Translation
4 “Then I thought,
‘I have been banished from your sight.
Will I ever see your holy temple again?’
5 “Water surrounded me, threatening my life.
The deep ⌞sea⌟ covered me completely.
Seaweed was wrapped around my head.
6 I sank to the foot of the mountains.
I sank to the bottom,
where bars held me forever.
But you brought me back from the pit, O Lord, my God.
Jonah 2:4-6
New International Version
4 I said, ‘I have been banished
from your sight;(A)
yet I will look again
toward your holy temple.’(B)
5 The engulfing waters threatened me,[a]
the deep surrounded me;
seaweed was wrapped around my head.(C)
6 To the roots of the mountains(D) I sank down;
the earth beneath barred me in forever.
But you, Lord my God,
brought my life up from the pit.(E)
