Unknown, traditionally ascribed to Jonah

“ The deep waters surround me. I wear reeds on my head. 7 I went down to the beginning of mountains. The foundations of land [would have] kept me out forever, yet You saved [5] my life from oblivion, O Yahweh my God! 8 When my soul became sorrowful, I remembered Yahweh, and my prayer came to You, to your holy hall. 9 Superstitions [6] are vanity, they are not faithful [7] . 10 But I will sacrifice to You what I vowed to, with a shout of joy. I will pay Yahweh for my salvation.
11 And Yahweh commanded [8] the sea creature, and it vomited Jonah out to land. ”

“ He paid the fare and went into it to go with them to Tarshish, [to flee] from before Yahweh.
4 But Yahweh cast a great wind in the sea, and there was a great storm in the sea, and the ship was in danger of breaking. 5 So each man cried out to his god, and they threw the cargo on the ship into the sea to lighten the weight, but Jonah went below decks, lay down, and fell asleep.
6 But the captain came to him and said: "Why are you going to sleep? Arise, call to your god! Maybe [one of] the gods will act on our behalf and we will not be lost." ”

“ Let no man or beast or cattle or sheep eat anything, or graze, or drink water. 8 And let man and beast wear rags and call to God fiercely, and let each man cease his evil ways and the robbery in his hands. ”
