Jonah 3:6-8

6When the word reached the king of Nineveh, he arose from his throne, laid aside his robe from him, 1covered himself with sackcloth and sat on the 2ashes.

7He issued a 3proclamation 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.

8But both man and beast must be covered with sackcloth; and let 4men 5call on God earnestly that each may 6turn from his wicked way and from the violence which is in 7his hands.
