The prophet calls a sacrifice thanksgiving that is worked out in concrete decisions in Jonah 2:9—look for "sacrifice" and "voice". Give sacrifice thanksgiving with time and attention—turn hope into steady work.

The setting is Jonah—prophetic oracle, developing sacrifice thanksgiving. Read in Jonah 2, its force becomes clearer. It also intersects prophetic hope & judgment. Listen for “sacrifice” alongside “voice”.

Long‑standing tradition credits Jonah to Jonah (trad.). Academic consensus for Jonah tends toward: Didactic narrative with prophetic figure; post‑exilic.. Date: Post‑exilic period.. This verse leans into prophetic hope & judgment.
