17
The LORD sent a huge fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the stomach of the fish three days and three nights.

1
Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the stomach of the fish
2
and said, "I called out to the LORD from my distress, and he answered me; from the belly of Sheol I cried out for help, and you heard my prayer.
3
You threw me into the deep waters, into the middle of the sea; the ocean current engulfed me; all the mighty waves you sent swept over me.
4
I thought I had been banished from your sight, that I would never again see your holy temple!
5
Water engulfed me up to my neck; the deep ocean surrounded me; seaweed was wrapped around my head.
6
I went down to the very bottoms of the mountains; the gates of the netherworld barred me in forever; but you brought me up from the Pit, O LORD, my God.
7
When my life was ebbing away, I called out to the LORD, and my prayer came to your holy temple.
8
Those who worship worthless idols forfeit the mercy that could be theirs.
9
But as for me, I promise to offer a sacrifice to you with a public declaration of praise; I will surely do what I have promised. Salvation belongs to the LORD!"
10
Then the LORD commanded the fish and it disgorged Jonah on dry land.
