Jonah 2:6-8
Expanded Bible
6 When I ·went [sank] down to ·where the mountains of the sea start to rise [L the roots of the mountains],
·I thought I was locked in this prison [the earth’s bars held me] forever,
but you ·saved me [L brought up my life] from the pit of death,
Lord my God.
7 “When my life ·had almost gone [was slipping/fainting away],
I remembered the Lord.
·I prayed [L My prayer went up] to you,
·and you heard my prayers in [L in] your Holy Temple.
8 “People who ·worship [cling to] ·useless [worthless; false] idols
·give up their loyalty to you [or forfeit the mercy/lovingkindness that is theirs].
