Jonah 2:3-5

International Children’s Bible

³ You threw me into the sea.
    I went down, down into the deep sea.
The water was all around me.
    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 over me.
I was about to die.
The deep sea was all around me.
    Seaweed wrapped around my head.
