Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, taking three days to go through it. 4 Jonah began to go into the city, walking a journey of one day, and he proclaimed, saying, “In forty days Nineveh will be overturned!” 5 The people of Nineveh believed God. They proclaimed a fast and dressed in sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least. 6 When the word reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, took off his royal robe, covered himself in sackcloth, and sat in ashes. 7 Then he made a proclamation in Nineveh, by decree of the king and his nobles: “Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything. Let them not graze or drink water. 8 But let both man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and let them call out to God with fervor. Let each turn from his evil ways and from the violence in their hands. 9 Who knows? God may turn and relent and withdraw His fierce anger, so that we will not perish.” 10 When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, He relented and did not bring upon them the disaster He had threatened.
