"Hell" in Jonah - Figure of Speech

"Hell" is the Lake of Fire in the end that destroys once & for all. It is also used as a figure of speech in Scripture for being in a really bad spot in a given moment....such as in Jonah 2........so be careful how you interpret the meaning of "hell" in the bible. It can be used allegorically, besides as the grave or the Lake of Fire in the end.


Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the fish's belly. And he said: I cried out to the LORD because of my affliction, and He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol [out of the belly of hell—KJV] I cried, and You heard my voice. Jonah 2:1-2
