"And I said: I am expelled from the sight of your eyes. Yet, truly, I will see your holy temple again. "
— Jonah 2:5, Catholic Public Domain Version
“The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.”
“The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; The deep was round about me; The weeds were wrapped about my head. ”
“The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The deep was around me. The weeds were wrapped around my head.”
“Water engulfed me up to my neck; the deep ocean surrounded me; seaweed was wrapped around my head.”
“And I said: I am cast away out of the sight of thy eyes: but yet I shall see the holy temple again.”
“The waters were circling round me, even to the neck; the deep was about me; the sea-grass was twisted round my head.”
“The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.”
And Jonah prayed to the Lord, his God, from the belly of the fish.
And he said: “I cried out to the Lord from my tribulation, and he heeded me. From the belly of hell, I cried out, and you heeded my voice.
And you have thrown me into the deep, in the heart of the sea, and a flood has encircled me. All your whirlpools and your waves have passed over me.
And I said: I am expelled from the sight of your eyes. Yet, truly, I will see your holy temple again.
The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The abyss has walled me in. The ocean has covered my head.
I descended to the base of the mountains. The bars of the earth have enclosed me forever. And you will raise up my life from corruption, Lord, my God.
When my soul was in anguish within me, I called to mind the Lord, so that my prayer might come to you, to your holy temple.
