Jonah 2:6-8

English Standard Version

⁶ To the roots of the mountains I went down,
    to the land whose bars closed upon me forever.
Yet you brought up my life from the pit,
    O Lord my God.
⁷ When my life was fainting away,
    I remembered the Lord,
^(A)and my prayer came to you,
    into your holy temple.
^8 (B)Those who pay regard to vain idols
    ^(C)forsake their hope of steadfast love.
