The People of Nineveh Repent
6 The word reached[a] the king of Nineveh, and (D)he arose from his throne, removed his robe, covered himself with sackcloth, (E)and sat in ashes. 7 And he issued a proclamation and published through Nineveh, (F)“By the decree of the king and his nobles: Let neither man nor (G)beast, herd nor flock, taste anything. Let them not feed or drink water, 8 but let man and (H)beast be covered with sackcloth, and let them call out mightily to God. (I)Let everyone turn from his evil way and from (J)the violence that is in his hands. 9 (K)Who knows? God may turn and relent (L)and turn from his fierce anger, so that we may not perish.”
10 When God saw what they did, (M)how they turned from their evil way, (N)God relented of the disaster that he had said he would do to them, and he did not do it.

4 Jonah began by going a day’s journey into the city, proclaiming,(A) “Forty more days and Nineveh will be overthrown.” 5 The Ninevites believed God. A fast was proclaimed, and all of them, from the greatest to the least, put on sackcloth.(B)
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.(C) 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.(D) 8 But let people and animals be covered with sackcloth. Let everyone call(E) urgently on God. Let them give up(F) their evil ways(G) and their violence.(H) 9 Who knows?(I) God may yet relent(J) and with compassion turn(K) from his fierce anger(L) so that we will not perish.”
10 When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he relented(M) and did not bring on them the destruction(N) he had threatened.(O)

Israel Has Not Returned to the Lord
6 “I gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities,
and (A)lack of bread in all your places,
(B)yet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.
7 “I also (C)withheld the rain from you
when there were yet three months to the harvest;
(D)I would send rain on one city,
and send no rain on another city;
one field would have rain,
and the field on which it did not rain would wither;
8 so two or three cities (E)would wander to another city
to drink water, and would not be satisfied;
(F)yet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.
9 (G)“I struck you with blight and mildew;
your many gardens and your vineyards,
your fig trees and your olive trees (H)the locust devoured;
(I)yet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.
10 “I sent among you a pestilence (J)after the manner of Egypt;
I killed your young men with the sword,
and (K)carried away your horses,[a]
and (L)I made the stench of your camp go up into your nostrils;
(M)yet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.
11 “I overthrew some of you,
(N)as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah,
and you were (O)as a brand[b] plucked out of the burning;
(P)yet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.
12 “Therefore thus I will do to you, O Israel;
because I will do this to you,
prepare to meet your God, O Israel!”

6 “I gave you empty stomachs in every city
and lack of bread in every town,
yet you have not returned to me,”
declares the Lord.(A)
7 “I also withheld(B) rain from you
when the harvest was still three months away.
I sent rain on one town,
but withheld it from another.(C)
One field had rain;
another had none and dried up.
8 People staggered from town to town for water(D)
but did not get enough(E) to drink,
yet you have not returned(F) to me,”
declares the Lord.(G)
9 “Many times I struck your gardens and vineyards,
destroying them with blight and mildew.(H)
Locusts(I) devoured your fig and olive trees,(J)
yet you have not returned(K) to me,”
declares the Lord.
10 “I sent plagues(L) among you
as I did to Egypt.(M)
I killed your young men(N) with the sword,
along with your captured horses.
I filled your nostrils with the stench(O) of your camps,
yet you have not returned to me,”(P)
declares the Lord.(Q)
11 “I overthrew some of you
as I overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.(R)

8 The lion has roared;
who will not fear?
(A)The Lord God has spoken;
who can but prophesy?”
9 Proclaim to the strongholds in (B)Ashdod
and to the strongholds in the land of Egypt,
and say, “Assemble yourselves on (C)the mountains of Samaria,
and see the great tumults within her,
and (D)the oppressed in her midst.”
10 “They do not know how to do right,” declares the Lord,
(E)“those who store up violence and robbery in their strongholds.”
11 Therefore thus says the Lord God:
(F)“An adversary shall surround the land
and bring down[a] your defenses from you,
and (G)your strongholds shall be plundered.”
12 Thus says the Lord: (H)“As the shepherd rescues from the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, (I)so shall the people of Israel (J)who dwell in Samaria be rescued, with the corner of a couch and part[b] of a bed.
13 “Hear, (K)and testify against the house of Jacob,”
declares the Lord God, (L)the God of hosts,
14 “that on the day I punish Israel for his transgressions,
(M)I will punish the altars of Bethel,
and (N)the horns of the altar shall be cut off
and fall to the ground.
15 (O)I will strike (P)the winter house along with (Q)the summer house,
and (R)the houses of ivory shall perish,
and the great houses[c] shall come to an end,”
declares the Lord.

9 Proclaim to the fortresses of Ashdod(D)
and to the fortresses of Egypt:
“Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria;(E)
see the great unrest within her
and the oppression among her people.”
10 “They do not know how to do right,(F)” declares the Lord,
“who store up in their fortresses(G)
what they have plundered(H) and looted.”
11 Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“An enemy will overrun your land,
pull down your strongholds
and plunder your fortresses.(I)”
12 This is what the Lord says:
“As a shepherd rescues from the lion’s(J) mouth
only two leg bones or a piece of an ear,
so will the Israelites living in Samaria be rescued,
with only the head of a bed
and a piece of fabric[a] from a couch.[b](K)”
13 “Hear this and testify(L) against the descendants of Jacob,” declares the Lord, the Lord God Almighty.
14 “On the day I punish(M) Israel for her sins,
I will destroy the altars of Bethel;(N)
the horns(O) of the altar will be cut off
and fall to the ground.
15 I will tear down the winter house(P)
along with the summer house;(Q)
the houses adorned with ivory(R) will be destroyed
and the mansions(S) will be demolished,(T)”
declares the Lord.(U)

(D)For the day of the Lord is (E)great and very awesome;

Return to the Lord
12 “Yet even now,” declares the Lord,
(G)“return to me with all your heart,
(H)with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning;
13 and (I)rend your hearts and not (J)your garments.”
Return to the Lord your God,
(K)for he is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love;
(L)and he relents over disaster.
14 (M)Who knows whether he will not turn and relent,
and (N)leave a blessing behind him,
(O)a grain offering and a drink offering
for the Lord your God?
15 (P)Blow the trumpet in Zion;
(Q)consecrate a fast;
call a solemn assembly;
16 gather the people.
(R)Consecrate the congregation;
assemble the elders;

and make not your heritage a reproach,
a byword among the nations.[a]
(Y)Why should they say among the peoples,
‘Where is their God?’”
