Interesting idea, but it didn't work. And, as the Kinks would say, the Biblical figure who got swallowed by a fish was Jonah, Jo-Jo-Jo-Jo-Jonah, Jo-Jo-Jo-Jo-Jonah!
Don't sweat the small stuff. Most people today wouldn't even know that Job and Jonah were in the Bible let alone which one did what, so I'd say you are safe with this and it was a great read just the same.
