Jonah 3:1-4

New International Reader's Version

Jonah Goes to Nineveh

3 A message from the Lord came to Jonah a second time. The Lord said, ² “Go to the great city of Nineveh. Announce to its people the message I give you.”

³ Jonah obeyed the Lord. He went to Nineveh. It was a very large city. In fact, it took about three days to go through it. ⁴ Jonah began by going one whole day into the city. As he went, he announced, “In 40 days Nineveh will be destroyed.”
