Jonah 2:3-5

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

³You cast me into the deep,
    into the heart of the seas,
    and the flood surrounded me;
all your waves and your billows
    passed over me.^(A)
⁴Then I said, ‘I am driven away
    from your sight;
how^[a] shall I look again
    upon your holy temple?’^(B)
⁵The waters closed in over me;
    the deep surrounded me;
weeds were wrapped around my head^(C)
