- The Lord Provided a Huge Fish
17 Now the Lord provided a huge fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

- Jonah's Prayer
2 From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the Lord his God.

2 He said: “In my distress I called to the Lord , and he answered me. From deep in the realm of the dead I called for help, and you listened to my cry.  

3 You hurled me into the depths, into the very heart of the seas, and the currents swirled about me; all your waves and breakers swept over me.  

4 I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.’  

5 The engulfing waters threatened me,  the deep surrounded me; seaweed was wrapped around my head.  

6 To the roots of the mountains I sank down; the earth beneath barred me in forever. But you, Lord my God, brought my life up from the pit.  

7 “When my life was ebbing away, I remembered you, Lord , and my prayer rose to you, to your holy temple.  

8 “Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from God’s love for them.  

9 But I, with shouts of grateful praise, will sacrifice to you. What I have vowed I will make good. I will say, ‘Salvation comes from the Lord .’ ”  

- Jonah's deliverance
10 And the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.

Phew~ Jonah!
The Lord saved his life from the fish's belly.
And then can you guess what he did?

Umm... what will he going to do?
Coming soon !
Bye~ Bye (^.^)/~
