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.”
