Jonah 2
Jonah prays to YHWH from the belly of the great fish, acknowledging his distress and crying out for deliverance while expressing faith that YHWH has heard him.[2] After committing to repentance and vowing to offer sacrifices and obey YHWH, the fish vomits Jonah onto dry land in response to YHWH's command.[1][3]
