Jonah 3:3-5

GOD’S WORD Translation

³ Jonah immediately went to Nineveh as the Lord told him. Nineveh was a very large city. It took three days to walk through ^[a] it. ⁴ Jonah entered the city and walked for about a day. Then he said, “In forty days Nineveh will be destroyed.”

⁵ The people of Nineveh believed God. They decided to fast, and everyone, from the most important to the least important, dressed in sackcloth.
