Jonah 2
|
|
| 2:1
Then Jonah prayed unto
the LORD his God out of the fish's belly, |
Jonah says a little prayer from the fish's belly.
|
| 2:2
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. |
"Out of the belly of hell cried I."
Jonah cried out to God from "the belly of hell." The Watch Tower uses this verse to show that "good people as well as bad
people go to the Bible hell."
"Or thou hadst cast me into the deep."
Who cast Jonah into the sea?
 After he was swallowed by a fish, why did
Jonah say: 'Out of the belly of hell I cried'?
|
| 2:3
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.
|
| 2:4
Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy
holy temple.
|
| 2:5
The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round
about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
|
| 2:6
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was
about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD
my God. |
|
| 2:7
When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came
in unto thee, into thine holy temple. |
|
| 2:8
They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy. |
|
| 2:9
But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay
that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD. |
|
| 2:10
And the LORD spake
unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
|
God talks to the fish, and it vomits out Jonah upon dry land.
 Jonah is cast up by the great fish
