Jonah 2:3-5

New Century Version

³ You threw me into the sea,
    down, down into the deep sea.
The water was all around me,
    and your powerful waves flowed over me.
⁴ I said, ‘I was driven out of your presence,
    but I hope to see your Holy Temple again.’
⁵ The waters of the sea closed around my throat.
    The deep sea was all around me;
    seaweed was wrapped around my head.
