Jonah 3:5-9

5So the peopleH582 of NinevehH5210 believedH539 GodH430, and proclaimedH7121 a fastH6685, and putH3847 on sackclothH8242, from the greatestH1419 of them even to the leastH6996 of them. 6For wordH1697 cameH5060 unto the kingH4428 of NinevehH5210, and he aroseH6965 from his throneH3678, and he laidH5674 his robeH155 from him, and coveredH3680 him with sackclothH8242, and satH3427 in ashesH665. 7And he caused it to be proclaimedH2199 and publishedH559 through NinevehH5210 by the decreeH2940 of the kingH4428 and his noblesH1419, sayingH559, Let neither manH120 nor beastH929, herdH1241 nor flockH6629, tasteH2938 any thingH3972: let them not feedH7462, nor drinkH8354 waterH4325:12 8But let manH120 and beastH929 be coveredH3680 with sackclothH8242, and cryH7121 mightilyH2394 unto GodH430: yea, let them turnH7725 every oneH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870, and from the violenceH2555 that is in their handsH3709. 9Who can tellH3045 if GodH430 will turnH7725 and repentH5162, and turn awayH7725 from his fierceH2740 angerH639, that we perishH6 not?
