Predicazione di Giona a Ninive
3 (A)La parola del Signore fu rivolta a *Giona, per la seconda volta, in questi termini:
2 «Àlzati, va' a *Ninive, la gran città, e proclama loro quello che io ti comando». 3 Giona partí e andò a Ninive, come il Signore aveva ordinato. Ninive era una città grande davanti a Dio; ci volevano tre giorni di cammino per attraversarla. 4 Giona cominciò a inoltrarsi nella città per una giornata di cammino e proclamava: «Ancora quaranta giorni, e Ninive sarà distrutta!»
5 I Niniviti credettero a Dio, proclamarono un digiuno, e si vestirono di sacchi, tutti, dal piú grande al piú piccolo. 6 E poiché la notizia era giunta al re di Ninive, questi si alzò dal trono, si tolse il mantello di dosso, si coprí di sacco e si mise seduto sulla cenere. 7 Poi, per decreto del re e dei suoi grandi, fu reso noto in Ninive un ordine di questo tipo: «Uomini e animali, armenti e greggi, non assaggino nulla; non vadano al pascolo e non bevano acqua; 8 uomini e animali si coprano di sacco e gridino a Dio con forza; ognuno si converta dalla sua malvagità e dalla violenza compiuta dalle sue mani. 9 Forse Dio si ricrederà, si pentirà e spegnerà la sua ira ardente, cosí che noi non periamo».
10 Dio vide ciò che facevano, vide che si convertivano dalla loro malvagità, e si pentí del male che aveva minacciato di far loro; e non lo fece.

Jonah Goes to Nineveh
3 Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah the second time, saying, 2 “Arise, go to (A)Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it the message that I tell you.” 3 So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Now (B)Nineveh was an exceedingly great city,[a] three days' journey in breadth.[b] 4 Jonah began to go into the city, going a day's journey. And he called out, “Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!” 5 (C)And the people of Nineveh believed God. (D)They called for a fast and (E)put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least of them.
The People of Nineveh Repent
6 The word reached[c] the king of Nineveh, and (F)he arose from his throne, removed his robe, covered himself with sackcloth, (G)and sat in ashes. 7 And he issued a proclamation and published through Nineveh, (H)“By the decree of the king and his nobles: Let neither man nor (I)beast, herd nor flock, taste anything. Let them not feed or drink water, 8 but let man and (J)beast be covered with sackcloth, and let them call out mightily to God. (K)Let everyone turn from his evil way and from (L)the violence that is in his hands. 9 (M)Who knows? God may turn and relent (N)and turn from his fierce anger, so that we may not perish.”
10 When God saw what they did, (O)how they turned from their evil way, (P)God relented of the disaster that he had said he would do to them, and he did not do it.

Jonah Goes to Nineveh
3 Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah(A) a second time: 2 “Go to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message I give you.”
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,(B) “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.(C)
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.(D) 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.(E) 8 But let people and animals be covered with sackcloth. Let everyone call(F) urgently on God. Let them give up(G) their evil ways(H) and their violence.(I) 9 Who knows?(J) God may yet relent(K) and with compassion turn(L) from his fierce anger(M) so that we will not perish.”
10 When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he relented(N) and did not bring on them the destruction(O) he had threatened.(P)
