Jonah 2:3 in Context — Jonah 2

1 L’Éternel fit venir un grand poisson pour engloutir Jonas, et Jonas fut dans le ventre du poisson trois jours et trois nuits.

2 Jonas, dans le ventre du poisson, pria l’Éternel, son Dieu.

3 Il dit: Dans ma détresse, j’ai invoqué l’Éternel, Et il m’a exaucé; Du sein du séjour des morts j’ai crié, Et tu as entendu ma voix.

4 Tu m’as jeté dans l’abîme, dans le cœur de la mer, Et les courants d’eau m’ont environné; Toutes tes vagues et tous tes flots ont passé sur moi.

5 Je disais: Je suis chassé loin de ton regard! Mais je verrai encore ton saint temple.
