Jonah 2:3-5
EasyEnglish Bible
3 You threw me into the deep water,
and I fell into the middle of the sea.
The deep water covered me.
You sent big waves to roll over me.
4 I said to myself,
“You have sent me far away from you.
Now I will never see your holy temple again.”[a]
5 The deep water of the sea covered me,
so that my life was in danger.
The plants in the sea were all around my head.

and the currents swirled about me;
all your waves(B) and breakers
swept over me.(C)
4 I said, ‘I have been banished
from your sight;(D)
yet I will look again
toward your holy temple.’(E)

the deep surrounded me;
seaweed was wrapped around my head.(F)
