Book 32 : JONAH - Chapter 003
003:001
Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it
the preaching that I bid thee
003:002
So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word
of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three
days' journey
003:003
And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he
cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be
overthrown
003:004
So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast,
and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the
least of them
003:005
For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his
throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with
sackcloth, and sat in ashes
003:006
And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through
Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let
neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let
them not feed, nor drink water
003:007
But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry
mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil
way, and from the violence that is in their hands
003:008
Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from
his fierce anger, that we perish not
003:009
And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way;
and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would
do unto them; and he did it not
