And the Lord appointed a great fish to swallow up Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
Jonah 2:1-3 RSV
Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish, saying, “I called to the Lord, out of my distress, and he answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and thou didst hear my voice. For thou didst cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the flood was round about me; all thy waves and thy billows passed over me.
