Et præparavit Dominus piscem grandem ut deglutiret Jonam: et erat Jonas in ventre piscis tribus diebus et tribus noctibus. Et oravit Jonas ad Dominum Deum suum de ventre piscis, et dixit: Clamavi de tribulatione mea ad Dominum, et exaudivit me; de ventre inferi clamavi, et exaudisti vocem meam. Et projecisti me in profundum in corde maris, et flumen circumdedit me: omnes gurgites tui, et fluctus tui super me transierunt. Et ego dixi: Abjectus sum a conspectu oculorum tuorum; verumtamen rursus videbo templum sanctum tuum. Circumdederunt me aquæ usque ad animam: abyssus vallavit me, pelagus operuit caput meum. Ad extrema montium descendi; terræ vectes concluserunt me in æternum: et sublevabis de corruptione vitam meam, Domine Deus meus. Cum angustiaretur in me anima mea, Domini recordatus sum: ut veniat ad te oratio mea, ad templum sanctum tuum. Qui custodiunt vanitates frustra, misericordiam suam derelinquunt. Ego autem in voce laudis immolabo tibi: quæcumque vovi, reddam pro salute Domino. Et dixit Dominus pisci, et evomuit Jonam in aridam.
