Jonah 3:6-8
6When the wordH1697 reachedH5060 the kingH4428 of NinevehH5210, he aroseH6965 from his throneH3678, laidH5674 asideH5674 his robeH155 from him, 1coveredH3680 himself with sackclothH8242 and satH3427 on the 2ashesH665.
7He issuedH2199 a 3proclamationH2199 and it saidH559, “In NinevehH5210 by the decreeH2940 of the kingH4428 and his noblesH1419: Do not let manH120, beastH929, herdH1241, or flockH6629 tasteH2938 a thingH3972. Do not let them eatH7462 or drinkH8354 waterH4325.
8But both manH120 and beastH929 must be coveredH3680 with sackclothH8242; and let 4men 5callH7121 on GodH430 earnestlyH2394 that eachH376 may 6turnH7725 from his wickedH7463 wayH1870 and from the violenceH2555 whichH834 is in 7his handsH3709.
