Jonah 2:4-6
New International Version
4 I said, ‘I have been banished
from your sight;(A)
yet I will look again
toward your holy temple.’(B)
5 The engulfing waters threatened me,[a]
the deep surrounded me;
seaweed was wrapped around my head.(C)
6 To the roots of the mountains(D) I sank down;
the earth beneath barred me in forever.
But you, Lord my God,
brought my life up from the pit.(E)

Jonah 2:4-6
King James Version
4 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
5 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
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.
