Jonah 3
3
1And the word of Jehovah came unto Jonah the second time, saying, 2Arise, go to Nineveh, the great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I shall bid thee. 3And Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of Jehovah. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey. 4And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!
5And the men of Nineveh believed God#GodHebrew: Elohim and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. 6And the word reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and laid his robe from him, and covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. 7And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything: let them not feed, nor drink water; 8and let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God#GodHebrew: Elohim and let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. 9Who knoweth but that God#GodHebrew: Elohim will turn and repent, and will turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? 10And God#GodHebrew: Elohim saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God#GodHebrew: Elohim repented of the evil that he had said he would do unto them, and he did it not.
