¹ And Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish's belly;

² and he said: I cried by reason of my distress unto Jehovah, and he answered me; Out of the belly of Sheol cried I: thou heardest my voice.

³ For thou didst cast me into the depth, into the heart of the seas, And the flood was round about me: All thy breakers and thy billows are gone over me.

⁴ And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes, Yet will I look again toward thy holy temple.

⁵ The waters encompassed me, to the soul: The deep was round about me, The weeds were wrapped about my head.

⁶ I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The bars of the earth [closed] upon me for ever: But thou hast brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.

⁷ When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, Into thy holy temple.

⁸ They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

⁹ But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.

¹⁰ And Jehovah commanded the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry [land].

¹⁵ Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of Yahweh. Samuel feared to show Eli the vision.

¹⁶ Then Eli called Samuel, and said, "Samuel, my son!" He said, "Here I am."

¹⁷ He said, "What is the thing that [Yahweh] has spoken to you? Please don't hide it from me. God do so to you, and more also, if you hide anything from me of all the things that he spoke to you."

¹⁸ Samuel told him every bit, and hid nothing from him. He said, "It is Yahweh. Let him do what seems good to him."
