And the word{H1697} of the LORD{H3068} came unto Jonah{H3124} the second{H8145} time, saying{H559}{(H8800)},

Arise{H6965}{(H8798)}, go{H3212}{(H8798)} unto Nineveh{H5210}, that great{H1419} city{H5892}, and preach{H7121}{(H8798)} unto it the preaching{H7150} that I bid{H1696}{(H8802)} thee.

So Jonah{H3124} arose{H6965}{(H8799)}, and went{H3212}{(H8799)} unto Nineveh{H5210}, according to the word{H1697} of the LORD{H3068}. Now Nineveh{H5210} was an exceeding{H430} great{H1419} city{H5892} of three{H7969} days{H3117}' journey{H4109}.

And Jonah{H3124} began{H2490}{(H8686)} to enter{H935}{(H8800)} into the city{H5892} a{H259} day's{H3117} journey{H4109}, and he cried{H7121}{(H8799)}, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, Yet forty{H705} days{H3117}, and Nineveh{H5210} shall be overthrown{H2015}{(H8737)}.

So the people{H582} of Nineveh{H5210} believed{H539}{(H8686)} God{H430}, and proclaimed{H7121}{(H8799)} a fast{H6685}, and put{H3847}{(H8799)} on sackcloth{H8242}, from the greatest{H1419} of them even to the least{H6996} of them.

For word{H1697} came{H5060}{(H8799)} unto the king{H4428} of Nineveh{H5210}, and he arose{H6965}{(H8799)} from his throne{H3678}, and he laid{H5674}{(H8686)} his robe{H155} from him, and covered{H3680}{(H8762)} him with sackcloth{H8242}, and sat{H3427}{(H8799)} in ashes{H665}.

And he caused it to be proclaimed{H2199}{(H8686)} and published{H559}{(H8799)} through Nineveh{H5210} by the decree{H2940} of the king{H4428} and his nobles{H1419}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Let neither man{H120} nor beast{H929}, herd{H1241} nor flock{H6629}, taste{H2938}{(H8799)} any thing{H3972}: let them not feed{H7462}{(H8799)}, nor drink{H8354}{(H8799)} water{H4325}:

But let man{H120} and beast{H929} be covered{H3680}{(H8691)} with sackcloth{H8242}, and cry{H7121}{(H8799)} mightily{H2394} unto God{H430}: yea, let them turn{H7725}{(H8799)} every one{H376} from his evil{H7451} way{H1870}, and from the violence{H2555} that is in their hands{H3709}.

Who can tell{H3045}{(H8802)} if God{H430} will turn{H7725}{(H8799)} and repent{H5162}{(H8738)}, and turn away{H7725}{(H8804)} from his fierce{H2740} anger{H639}, that we perish{H6}{(H8799)} not?

And God{H430} saw{H7200}{(H8799)} their works{H4639}, that they turned{H7725}{(H8804)} from their evil{H7451} way{H1870}; and God{H430} repented{H5162}{(H8735)} of the evil{H7451}, that he had said{H1696}{(H8765)} that he would do{H6213}{(H8800)} unto them; and he did{H6213}{(H8804)} it not.
