Jonah 3

1And the wordH1697 of Jehovah came unto JonahH3124 the secondH8145 timeH8145, sayingH559, 2AriseH6965, go unto NinevehH5210, that greatH1419 cityH5892, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee. 3So JonahH3124 aroseH6965, and went unto NinevehH5210, according to the wordH1697 of Jehovah. Now NinevehH5210 wasH1961 an exceeding greatH1419 cityH5892, of threeH7969 days’H3117 journeyH4109. 4And JonahH3124 beganH2490 to enter into the cityH5892 a day’sH3117 journeyH4109, and he cried, and saidH559, YetH5750 fortyH705 daysH3117, and NinevehH5210 shall be overthrown.

5And the people of NinevehH5210 believedH539 GodH430; and they proclaimedH7121 a fastH6685, and putH3847 on sackclothH8242, from the greatestH1419 of them even to the least of them. 6And the tidings reachedH5060 the kingH4428 of NinevehH5210, and he aroseH6965 from his throneH3678, and laid his robe from him, and coveredH3680 him with sackclothH8242, and satH3427 in ashesH665. 7And he made proclamation and published through NinevehH5210 by the decree of the kingH4428 and his nobles, sayingH559, Let neither manH120 nor beast, herdH1241 nor flockH6629, tasteH2938 anythingH3972; let them not feedH7462, nor drinkH8354 waterH4325; 8but let them be coveredH3680 with sackclothH8242, both manH376 and beast, and let them cry mightily unto GodH430: yea, let them turnH7725 every oneH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870, and from the violenceH2555 that is in his handsH3709. 9Who knoweth whether GodH430 will not turnH7725 and repent, and turnH7725 awayH7725 from his fierce angerH639, that we perishH6 not? 10And GodH430 sawH7200 their worksH4639, that they turnedH7725 from their evilH7451 wayH1870; and GodH430 repentedH5162 of the evilH7451 which he saidH1696 he would do unto them; and he did it not.
