Thrown overboard and expecting to drown, Jonah is rescued by a great fish sent by God to swallow him. Jonah rejoices that his life has been saved and offers a prayer of praise to God for his deliverance. Jonah acknowledges his responsibility for his situation and praises God that despite his rebellion, God answered Jonah’s prayer for help. There is nowhere and no one beyond the hearing of God. By ending his prayer with the statement that “salvation belongs to the Lord” Jonah echoes one of the central themes of the Bible – God is the only one with the ability and the motivation to save sinners.
