Jonah 2:3-5

New International Reader's Version

³ You threw me deep into the Mediterranean Sea.
    I was deep down in its waters.
    They were all around me.
All your rolling waves
    were sweeping over me.
⁴ I said, ‘I have been driven away from you.
    But I will look again
    toward your holy temple in Jerusalem.’
⁵ I had almost drowned in the waves.
    The deep waters were all around me.
    Seaweed was wrapped around my head.
