Jonah 2:5 Context
3For thou hadst cast mee into the deepe, in the middest of the Seas, and the floods compassed me about: all thy billowes & thy waues passed ouer me. 4Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will looke againe toward thy holy Temple. 5The waters compassed mee about euen to the soule; the depth closed mee round about; the weedes were wrapt about my head. 6I went downe to the bottomes of the mountaines: the earth with her barres was about me for euer: yet hast thou brought vp my life from corruption, O Lord my God. 7When my soule fainted within mee, I remembred the Lord, and my prayer came in vnto thee, into thine holy Temple.
