<b>into the heart of the seas<b>- "to the bottom of the sea"

## I am driven out ##

This can be translated with an active clause: "You have driven me away" or "You have sent me away." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])

"from you." When Jonah said "your eyes" he was speaking about all of Yahweh. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche]])

## How can I ever again gaze at your holy temple?" ##
|

<b>How can I ever again gaze at your holy temple?"</b> Jonah used this rhetorical question to show how sad he was that he would never see Yahweh's temple again. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]]) |
