— Jonah 2:8-1964, Bible in Basic English
“They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy. But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord. And the Lord spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land. ”
“When my soul was in distress within me, I remembered the Lord: that my prayer may come to thee, unto the holy temple. They that in vain observe vanities, forsake their own mercy. But I with the voice of praise will sacrifice to thee: I will pay whatsoever I have vowed for my salvation to the Lord. And the Lord spoke to the fish: and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land. ”
The waters were circling round me, even to the neck; the deep was about me; the sea-grass was twisted round my head.

When my soul in me was overcome, I kept the memory of the Lord: and my prayer came in to you, into your holy Temple.
