* And the Word of Jehovah came to Jonah the second time , saying , * Rise up , go to Nineveh , that great city , and cry out to it the proclamation that I am instructing you . * And Jonah rose up and went to Nineveh according to the Word of Jehovah . And Nineveh was a great city before God , of three days ’ journey . * And Jonah began to enter into the city a day ’s journey . And he cried out and said , Yet forty days and Nineveh shall be overthrown ! * And the men of Nineveh believed in God , and they called a fast and put on sackcloth , from the greatest of them even to the least of them . * And the word reached even to the king of Nineveh , and he arose from his throne , and he took off his robe and covered himself with sackcloth and sat on the ashes . * And he cried and proclaimed in Nineveh by the decree of the king and of his nobles , saying , Do not let man or beast , herd or flock , taste anything ; do not let them feed nor let them drink water . * But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth . And let them call mightily to God . And let them each one turn from his evil way , and from the violence that is in their hands . * Who knows if God may turn , and have compassion , and turn away from His burning anger , that we not perish ? * And God saw their works , that they turned from their evil way . And God was moved to pity with regard to the evil that He had spoken to do to them , and He did not do it .
