Jonah’s prayer to the LORD out of the fish’s belly
요나가 물고기 뱃속에서 여호와께 드린 기도
Jonah 2:1–9: Jonah prays to the LORD, his God, out of the fish’s belly. He says, “I called because of my affliction to the LORD. He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried. You heard my voice. For you threw me into the depths, in the heart of the seas. The flood was all around me. All your waves and your billows passed over me. I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.’ The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The deep was around me. The weeds were wrapped around my head. I went down to the bottoms of the mountains. The earth barred me in forever; yet you have brought my life up from the pit, LORD my God. When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD. My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple. Those who regard vain idols forsake their own mercy. But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to the LORD.” WEB sets a second opening quotation mark at 2:7, inside the prayer it opens at 2:2. The Korean Revised Version reads at 2:2 주께서 내게 대답하셨고, addressing the LORD in the second person, where WEB reads “He answered me”, and 스올의 뱃속 for “the belly of Sheol”; at 2:6 it calls on 나의 하나님 여호와여 before 주께서 내 생명을 구덩이에서 건지셨나이다; and at 2:8 it reads 자기에게 베푸신 은혜를 버렸사오나, they forsake the mercy shown to them, where WEB reads “forsake their own mercy”.
