Jonah 3:6-9
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. 98WhoH4310 knowsH3045, GodH430 may turnH7725 and relentH5162 and withdrawH7725 His burningH2740 angerH639 so that we will not perishH6.”
