← Jonah 2:2	Jonah 2:3 (KJV)	Jonah 2:4 →
And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, [and] thou heardest my voice.	For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.	Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
