Jonas 3

1 And the Word of Jehovah came to Jonah the second time, saying,

2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out to it the proclamation that I am declaring to you.

3 And Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the Word of Jehovah. And Nineveh was a very great city of three days' journey.

4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried and said, Yet forty days and Nineveh shall be overthrown!

5 And the people of Nineveh believed God. And they called a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.

6 For word came to the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne. And he laid his robe from him, and covered himself [with] sackcloth, and sat in ashes.

7 And he cried out and said in Nineveh by the decree of the king and his great ones, saying, Do not let man or beast, herd or flock taste anything; do not let them feed, nor drink water.

8 But let man and animal be covered [with] sackcloth, and cry mightily to God. And let them each one turn from his evil way, and from the violence that [is] in their hands.

9 Who knows? He may repent, and God may have pity and turn away from the glow of His anger, so that we do not perish.

10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way. And God was compassionate over the evil that He had said to do to them, and He did not do [it].
