rsv Jonah:3:5-10
rsv@Jonah:3:5 @ And the people of Nin'eveh believed God; they proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least of them.
rsv@Jonah:3:6 @ Then tidings reached the king of Nin'eveh, and he arose from his throne, removed his robe, and covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
rsv@Jonah:3:7 @ And he made proclamation and published through Nin'eveh, "By the decree of the king and his nobles: Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything; let them not feed, or drink water,
rsv@Jonah:3:8 @ but let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and let them cry mightily to God; yea, let every one turn from his evil way and from the violence which is in his hands.
rsv@Jonah:3:9 @ Who knows, God may yet repent and turn from his fierce anger, so that we perish not?"
rsv@Jonah:3:10 @ When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil way, God repented of the evil which he had said he would do to them; and he did not do it.
