1
And
the
word
of
the
LORD
came
unto
Jonah
the
second
time,
saying,
2
Arise,
go
unto
Nineveh,
that
great
city,
and
preach
unto
it
the
preaching
that
I
bid
thee.
3
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.
4
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.
5
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.
6
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.
7
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:
8
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.
9
Who
can
tell
[if]
God
will
turn
and
repent,
and
turn
away
from
his
fierce
anger,
that
we
perish
not?
10
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.
