The People of Nineveh Repent
6 The word reached[c] the king of Nineveh, and (E)he arose from his throne, removed his robe, covered himself with sackcloth, (F)and sat in ashes. 7 And he issued a proclamation and published through Nineveh, (G)“By the decree of the king and his nobles: Let neither man nor (H)beast, herd nor flock, taste anything. Let them not feed or drink water, 8 but let man and (I)beast be covered with sackcloth, and let them call out mightily to God. (J)Let everyone turn from his evil way and from (K)the violence that is in his hands. 9 (L)Who knows? God may turn and relent (M)and turn from his fierce anger, so that we may not perish.”

3 Jonah obeyed the word of the Lord and went to Nineveh. Now Nineveh was a very large city; it took three days to go through it. 4 Jonah began by going a day’s journey into the city, proclaiming,(A) “Forty more days and Nineveh will be overthrown.” 5 The Ninevites believed God. A fast was proclaimed, and all of them, from the greatest to the least, put on sackcloth.(B)
6 When Jonah’s warning reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, took off his royal robes, covered himself with sackcloth and sat down in the dust.(C) 7 This is the proclamation he issued in Nineveh:
“By the decree of the king and his nobles:
Do not let people or animals, herds or flocks, taste anything; do not let them eat or drink.(D) 8 But let people and animals be covered with sackcloth. Let everyone call(E) urgently on God. Let them give up(F) their evil ways(G) and their violence.(H) 9 Who knows?(I) God may yet relent(J) and with compassion turn(K) from his fierce anger(L) so that we will not perish.”
