Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the fish’s belly.
And he said:
I cried out to the LORD because of my affliction,
And He answered me.
Out of the belly of Sheol I cried,
And You heard my voice.
For You cast me into the deep,
Into the heart of the seas,
And the floods surrounded me;
All Your billows and Your waves passed over me.
Then I said, I have been cast out of Your sight;
Yet I will look again toward Your holy temple.
The waters surrounded me, even to my soul;
The deep closed around me;
Weeds were wrapped around my head.
I went down to the moorings of the mountains;
The earth with it’s bars closed behind me for ever;
Yet You have brought up my life from the pit,
O LORD, my God.
When my soul fainted within me,
I remembered the LORD;
And my prayer went up to You,
Into Your holy temple.
Those who regard worthless idols
Forsake their own Mercy.
But I will sacrifice to You
With the voice of thanksgiving,
I will pay what I have vowed.
SALVATION IS OF THE LORD.
So the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
SIGN OF THE PROPHET JONAH FOR AN EVIL AND ADULTEROUS GENERATION.
For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish,
So will the SON OF MAN be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
INDEED A GREATER THAN JONAH IS HERE.
Ninevehites Repented at the Preaching of Jonah.
DO YOY KNOW WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW?
ARE YOU PREPARED TO CRY UNTO THE LORD RIGHT NOW?
HE WILL SAVE YOU RIGHT NOW.
