Jonah 2:5 in Context — Jonah 2
3 Y dijo: Clamé de mi tribulación á Jehová, y él me oyó; del vientre del sepulcro clamé, y mi voz oiste.
4 Echásteme en el profundo, en medio de los mares, y rodeóme la corriente; todas tus ondas y tus olas pasaron sobre mí.
5 Y yo dije: Echado soy de delante de tus ojos: mas aun veré tu santo templo.
6 Las aguas me rodearon hasta el alma, rodeóme el abismo; la ova se enredó á mi cabeza.
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.
