Jonah 2:5 in Context — Jonah 2
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.
6 Les eaux m’ont couvert jusqu’à m’ôter la vie, L’abîme m’a enveloppé, Les roseaux ont entouré ma tête.
7 Je suis descendu jusqu’aux racines des montagnes, Les barres de la terre m’enfermaient pour toujours; Mais tu m’as fait remonter vivant de la fosse, Éternel, mon Dieu!
