Jonah 2:6 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Jonah 2:5      Jonah 2:7

Jonah 2:6

I went down to the carved rocks [the root/foot of the mountains] [see Jonah 1:3, 5],
[down under] the earth, its bars were behind me forever.
But you brought me up from the depths,
Lord (Yahweh), my God (Elohim).
[The first part is difficult to translate. Hebr. qetsev is used for something shaped and comes from the verb to carve. It is used in connection with how Hiram works and makes the shape for the stand on which the bronze sea in the tabernacle stood, see 1 Kings 6:25; 7:37. The mountains can be poetically understood as stretching their roots or ridges to the lowest depths of the sea. There they are carved and shaped. Another interpretation is that it is Jonah's head that sticks up above the surface and is likened to mountains covered with vegetation.]
