¹ (H2-2) Y oró Jonás desde el vientre del pez á Jehová su Dios.

² (H2-3) Y dijo: Clamé de mi tribulación á Jehová, Y él me oyó; Del vientre del sepulcro clamé, Y mi voz oiste.

³ (H2-4) Echásteme en el profundo, en medio de los mares, Y rodeóme la corriente; Todas tus ondas y tus olas pasaron sobre mí.

⁴ (H2-5) Y yo dije: Echado soy de delante de tus ojos: Mas aun veré tu santo templo.

⁵ (H2-6) Las aguas me rodearon hasta el alma, Rodeóme el abismo; La ova se enredó á mi cabeza.

⁶ (H2-7) Descendí á las raíces de los montes; La tierra echó sus cerraduras sobre mí para siempre: Mas tú sacaste mi vida de la sepultura, oh Jehová Dios mío.

⁷ (H2-8) Cuando mi alma desfallecía en mí, acordéme de Jehová; Y mi oración entró hasta ti en tu santo templo.

⁸ (H2-9) Los que guardan las vanidades ilusorias, Su misericordia abandonan.

⁹ (H2-10) Yo empero con voz de alabanza te sacrificaré; Pagaré lo que prometí. La salvación pertenece á Jehová.

¹⁰ (H2-11) Y mandó Jehová al pez, y vomitó á Jonás en tierra.

¹ Yahweh showed me, and behold, two baskets of figs set before the temple of Yahweh, after that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the craftsmen and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.

² One basket had very good figs, like the figs that are first-ripe; and the other basket had very bad figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.

³ Then Yahweh said to me, What do you see, Jeremiah? I said, Figs; the good Figs, very good; and the bad, very bad, that can't be eaten, they are so bad.

⁴ The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

⁵ Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: Like these good figs, so will I regard the captives of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans, for good.

⁶ For I will set my eyes on them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.

⁷ I will give them a heart to know me, that I am Yahweh: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God; for they shall return to me with their whole heart.

⁸ As the bad figs, which can't be eaten, they are so bad, surely thus says Yahweh, So will I give up Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, who remain in this land, and those who dwell in the land of Egypt,

⁹ I will even give them up to be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth for evil; to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places where I shall drive them.

¹⁰ I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them, until they be consumed from off the land that I gave to them and to their fathers.
