Jonah 3:1-10 — Jonah Goes to Nineveh
Jonah.3.1-10
1Then the word of the LORD came to Jonah a second time: 2Get up, go to Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim to it the message that I tell you. 3So Jonah got up and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city before God , a journey of three days. 4Jonah began by going a day’s journey into the city, and he cried out, 'Yet forty days, and Nineveh will be overthrown !' 5And the people of Nineveh believed God. They proclaimed a fast and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least of them. 6When the message reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, removed his robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in the ashes . 7And he issued a proclamation in Nineveh: 'By decree of the king and his nobles: Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything. Let them not feed, and let them not drink water.' 8Let both man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and let them call out mightily to God. Let each person turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands. 9Who knows? God may turn and relent, and turn from his burning anger, so that we may not perish. 10When God saw their deeds, that they had turned from their evil way, God relented concerning the disaster that he had said he would bring upon them, and he did not do it.
