Jonah 2:6 Context
4Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will looke againe toward thy holy Temple. 5The waters compassed mee about euen to the soule; the depth closed mee round about; the weedes were wrapt about my head. 6I went downe to the bottomes of the mountaines: the earth with her barres was about me for euer: yet hast thou brought vp my life from corruption, O Lord my God. 7When my soule fainted within mee, I remembred the Lord, and my prayer came in vnto thee, into thine holy Temple. 8They that obserue lying vanities, forsake their owne mercy.
