Jonah 2:3 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Hadst cast. — Rather, didst cast. (See Psalms 88:6.)

Floods. — Literally, river, used here of the ocean currents. (Comp. Psalms 24:2.)

All thy billows and thy waves. — More exactly, all thy breakers and billows. (See Psalms 42:7, where the same expression is used figuratively for great danger and distress.)

Jonah 2:3

3 For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midsta of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
