Jonah 2:8-10 King James Version (KJV)
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving;
I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.
10 And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah
upon the dry land.
Jonah 2:8-10 New Life Version (NLV)
8 Those who worship false gods have given up their faith in You.
9 But I will give gifts in worship to You with a thankful voice.
I will give You what I have promised. The Lord is the One Who
saves.”
10 Then the Lord spoke to the fish, and it spit Jonah out onto
the dry land.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
8 False gods is anything people serve before God, anything
people make an idol. We need to make sure God is first in our
life. Jonah idol had become his own will because he wasn’t
following God’s will. Jonah is referring the Jews who would
fall into captivity because of them worshiping idols later.
9 Jonah is trying to remind God who he is, God knew who Jonah
was that is why he chose to call him. We also need to know that
God knows us as well. Jesus came so we may be saved. God keeps
His promises.
10 Jonah was no longer in the fish, it likely the fish spit
Jonah on the shore to go to Nineveh.
