* And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time , saying , * Arise , go unto Nineveh , that great city , and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee . * 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 . * And Jonah began to enter into the city a day 's journey , and he cried and said , Yet forty days , and Nineveh shall be destroyed . * 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 . * For word came unto the king of Nineveh , and he arose from his throne , and he threw his robe from him and covered [himself ] with sackcloth and sat in ashes . * 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 : * but let man and beast be covered with sackcloth and cry mightily unto God ; and let each one turn from his evil way and from the violence that [is ] in his hands . * Who can tell [if ] God will turn and repent and turn away from his fierce anger , that we not perish ? * And God saw their works , because they turned from their evil way , and he repented of the evil that he had said that he would do unto them , and he did not do [it ].:
