2:6 I went down 1 to the very bottoms 2 of the mountains; 3
the gates 4 of the netherworld 5 barred me in 6 forever; 7
but you brought me 8 up from the Pit, 9 O Lord, my God.
2:7 When my life 10 was ebbing away, 11 I called out to 12 the Lord,
and my prayer came to your holy temple. 13
2:8 Those who worship 14 worthless idols 15 forfeit the mercy that could be theirs. 16
2:9 But as for me, I promise to offer a sacrifice to you with a public declaration 17 of praise; 18
I will surely do 19 what I have promised. 20
Salvation 21 belongs to the Lord!” 22
2:10 Then the Lord commanded 23 the fish and it disgorged Jonah on dry land.
