Jonah 3:3-5

The Voice

³ Having learned his lesson, Jonah yielded to the Eternal’s command and headed on the road to Nineveh. Now Nineveh was an important city, so large that it took three days to travel throughout it. ⁴ Jonah had barely begun to walk the first day’s journey into the city when he stopped.

⁵ With that announcement, the people of Nineveh started to trust in Jonah’s God! Every person—whether young or old, rich or poor, male or female—fasted and wore a sack as a sign of remorse for his past wickedness.
