Jonah <3

Jonah was awesome, loved it.
Verses :) :
"In my distress I called to the LORD,
       and he answered me.
       From the depths of the grave [a] I called for help,
       and you listened to my cry.
You hurled me into the deep,
       into the very heart of the seas,
       and the currents swirled about me;
       all your waves and breakers
       swept over me.
 I said, 'I have been banished
       from your sight;
       yet I will look again
       toward your holy temple.'
The engulfing waters threatened me, [b]
       the deep surrounded me;
       seaweed was wrapped around my head.
To the roots of the mountains I sank down;
       the earth beneath barred me in forever.
       But you brought my life up from the pit,
       O LORD my God.
"When my life was ebbing away,
       I remembered you, LORD,
       and my prayer rose to you,
       to your holy temple.
"Those who cling to worthless idols
       forfeit the grace that could be theirs.
But I, with a song of thanksgiving,
       will sacrifice to you.
       What I have vowed I will make good.
       Salvation comes from the LORD."

Jonah 2:1-9

I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity.

Jonah 4:1
