Jonah’s Prayer
17Now the LORD provided a huge fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
1In Hebrew texts 2:1 is numbered 1:17, and 2:1-10 is numbered 2:2-11. From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the LORD his God.
2He said: “In my distress I called to the LORD, and he answered me. From deep in the realm of the dead I called for help, and you listened to my cry.
