Jonah 2:6 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

I went down — The fish carried him down as deep in the sea as are the bottoms of the mountains. With her bars — I seemed to be imprisoned where the bars that secured were as durable as the rocks, which they were made of. Yet — By what was first my danger, thou hast wonderfully secured me. From corruption — Or the pit, a description of the state of the dead. O Lord — In the assurance of faith, he speaks of the thing as already done.

Jonah 2:6

6 I went down to the bottomsb of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.
