Jonah 3:5-9
New American Standard Bible
5 Then the people of Nineveh believed in God; and they called a (A)fast and put on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least of them. 6 When the word reached the king of Nineveh, he got up from his throne, removed his robe from himself, (B)covered himself with sackcloth, and sat on the [a]dust. 7 And he issued a (C)proclamation, and it said, “In Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles: No person, animal, herd, or flock is to taste anything. They are not to eat, or drink water. 8 But every person and animal must be covered with sackcloth; and people are to (D)call on God vehemently, and they are to (E)turn, each one from his evil way, and from the violence which is in their hands. 9 (F)Who knows, God may turn and relent, and turn from His burning anger so that we will not perish.”

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.(B) 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.(C) 8 But let people and animals be covered with sackcloth. Let everyone call(D) urgently on God. Let them give up(E) their evil ways(F) and their violence.(G) 9 Who knows?(H) God may yet relent(I) and with compassion turn(J) from his fierce anger(K) so that we will not perish.”
