1 A nd the wordH1697 of JehovahH3068 came unto JonahH3124 the secondH8145 time, saying,H559
2 Arise,H6965 goH3212 unto Nineveh,H5210 that greatH1419 city,H5892 and preachH7121 unto it the preachingH7150 that I bidH1696 thee.
3 So JonahH3124 arose,H6965 and wentH3212 unto Nineveh,H5210 according to the wordH1697 of Jehovah.H3068 Now NinevehH5210 was an exceedingH430 greatH1419 city,H5892 of threeH7969 days'H3117 journey.H4109
4 And JonahH3124 beganH2490 to enterH935 into the cityH5892 aH259 day'sH3117 journey,H4109 and he cried,H7121 and said,H559 Yet fortyH705 days,H3117 and NinevehH5210 shall be overthrown.H2015
5 And the peopleH582 of NinevehH5210 believedH539 God;H430 and they proclaimedH7121 a fast,H6685 and putH3847 on sackcloth,H8242 from the greatestH1419 of them even to the leastH6996 of them.
6 And the tidingsH1697 reachedH5060 the kingH4428 of Nineveh,H5210 and he aroseH6965 from his throne,H3678 and laidH5674 his robeH155 from him, and coveredH3680 him with sackcloth,H8242 and satH3427 in ashes.H665
7 And he made proclamationH2199 and publishedH559 through NinevehH5210 by the decreeH2940 of the kingH4428 and his nobles,H1419 saying,H559 Let neither manH120 nor beast,H929 herdH1241 nor flock,H6629 tasteH2938 anything;H3972 let them not feed,H7462 nor drinkH8354 water;H4325
8 but let them be coveredH3680 with sackcloth,H8242 both manH120 and beast,H929 and let them cryH7121 mightilyH2394 unto God:H430 yea, let them turnH7725 every oneH376 from his evilH7451 way,H1870 and from the violenceH2555 that is in his hands.H3709
9 Who knowethH3045 whether GodH430 will not turnH7725 and repent,H5162 and turn awayH7725 from his fierceH2740 anger,H639 that we perishH6 not?
10 And GodH430 sawH7200 their works,H4639 that they turnedH7725 from their evilH7451 way;H1870 and GodH430 repentedH5162 of the evilH7451 which he saidH1696 he would doH6213 unto them; and he didH6213 it not.
