Jonah 2:5
The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.

Et ego dixi : Abjectus sum a conspectu oculorum tuorum ; verumtamen rursus videbo templum sanctum tuum.
Vulgate
καὶ ἐγώ εἶπα Ἀπῶσμαι ἐξ ὀφθαλμῶν σου· ἄρα προσθήσω τοῦ ἐπιβλέψαι πρὸς τὸν ναὸν τὸν ἅγιόν σου·
LXX
The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; The deep was round about me; The weeds were wrapped about my head.
