Jonah 2:2-4

International Children’s Bible

² “I was in danger.
    So I called to the Lord,
    and he answered me.
I was about to die.
    So I cried to you,
    and you heard my voice.
³ You threw me into the sea.
    I went down, down into the deep sea.
The water was all around me.
    Your powerful waves flowed over me.
⁴ I said, ‘I was driven out of your presence.
    But I hope to see your Holy Temple again.’
