Jon_03_01 And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying, ~
Jon_03_02 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee. ~
Jon_03_03 So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey. ~
Jon_03_04 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. ~
Jon_03_05 So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. ~
Jon_03_06 For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered [him] with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. ~
Jon_03_07 And 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 any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water: ~
Jon_03_08 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that [is] in their hands. ~
Jon_03_09 Who can tell [if] God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? ~
Jon_03_10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did [it] not. ~
