Jonah 2:4-6
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
4 You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the sea,
and the flood enveloped me;
All your breakers and your billows
passed over me.(A)
5 Then I said, “I am banished from your sight!
How will I again look upon your holy temple?”(B)
6 The waters surged around me up to my neck;
the deep enveloped me;
seaweed wrapped around my head.(C)
