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