Jonah 2:5 in other translations
The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
The waters engulfed me to take my life; the watery depths closed around me; the seaweed wrapped around my head.
The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The deep was around me. The weeds were wrapped around my head.
