Jonah 3:5-7
5Then the people of Nineveh believed in God; and they called a 1fast and put on sackcloth from the greatest to the least of them.
6When the word reached the king of Nineveh, he arose from his throne, laid aside his robe from him, 2covered himself with sackcloth and sat on the 3ashes.
7He issued a 4proclamation and it said, “In Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles: Do not let man, beast, herd, or flock taste a thing. Do not let them eat or drink water.
