JONAH
Chapter 2
Jona | Rotherha | 2:2 | and said—I cried—out of my distress—unto Yahweh, and he answered me,—Out of the belly of hades, called I, Thou didst hear my voice. | |
Jona | Rotherha | 2:3 | For thou hast cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and, a flood, enveloped me,—All thy breakers and thy rolling waves, over me, passed. | |
Jona | Rotherha | 2:4 | And, I, said, I am driven out from before thine eyes,—Yet will I again have regard unto thy holy temple: | |
Jona | Rotherha | 2:5 | The waters, encompassed me, to the peril of my life, The roaring deep, enveloped me,—The sea-weed, was wrapped about my head: | |
Jona | Rotherha | 2:6 | To the roots of the mountains, went I down, As for the earth, her bars, were about me, age-abidingly,—Then didst thou bring up—out of the pit—my life, O Yahweh my God. | |
Jona | Rotherha | 2:7 | When my soul, darkened itself over me, Yahweh, I remembered,—and my prayer, came in unto thee, unto thy holy temple. | |
Jona | Rotherha | 2:8 | They who take heed to the vanities of falsehood, do, their own lovingkindness, forsake. | |
Jona | Rotherha | 2:9 | But, I, with the voice of praise, will sacrifice unto thee, What I have vowed, I will pay,—Salvation, belongeth to Yahweh! | |
