To seize the spoil, to take the prey,
And to tread them down like the mire of the streets.

You drink, but you are not filled with drink;
You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm;

Earns wages to put into a bag with holes.”

4 And Jonah began to enter the city on the first day’s walk. Then (A)he cried out and said, “Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!”
The People of Nineveh Believe
5 So the (B)people of Nineveh believed God, proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least of them. 6 Then word came to the king of Nineveh; and he arose from his throne and laid aside his robe, covered himself with sackcloth (C)and sat in ashes. 7 (D)And he caused it to be proclaimed and published throughout Nineveh by the decree of the king and his [a]nobles, saying,
Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything; do not let them eat, or drink water. 8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily to God; yes, (E)let every one turn from his evil way and from (F)the violence that is in his hands. 9 (G)Who can tell if God will turn and relent, and turn away from His fierce anger, so that we may not perish?
10 (H)Then God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God relented from the disaster that He had said He would bring upon 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)

Warnings to Zion and Samaria
6 Woe (A)to you who are at (B)ease in Zion,

Notable persons in the (D)chief nation,
To whom the house of Israel comes!

Israel Did Not Accept Correction
6 “Also I gave you [a]cleanness of teeth in all your cities,
And lack of bread in all your places;
(A)Yet you have not returned to Me,”
Says the Lord.
7 “I also withheld rain from you,
When there were still three months to the harvest.
I made it rain on one city,
I withheld rain from another city.
One part was rained upon,
And where it did not rain the part withered.
8 So two or three cities wandered to another city to drink water,
But they were not satisfied;
Yet you have not returned to Me,”
Says the Lord.
9 “I(B) blasted you with blight and mildew.
When your gardens increased,
Your vineyards,
Your fig trees,
And your olive trees,
(C)The locust devoured them;
Yet you have not returned to Me,”
Says the Lord.
10 “I sent among you a plague (D)after the manner of Egypt;
Your young men I killed with a sword,
Along with your captive horses;
I made the stench of your camps come up into your nostrils;
Yet you have not returned to Me,”
Says the Lord.
11 “I overthrew some of you,
As God overthrew (E)Sodom and Gomorrah,
And you were like a firebrand plucked from the burning;
Yet you have not returned to Me,”
Says the Lord.
12 “Therefore thus will I do to you, O Israel;
Because I will do this to you,
(F)Prepare to meet your God, O Israel!”

8 A lion has roared!

Punishment of Israel’s Sins
9 “Proclaim in the palaces at [a]Ashdod,
And in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say:
‘Assemble on the mountains of Samaria;
See great tumults in her midst,
And the [b]oppressed within her.
10 For they (B)do not know to do right,’
Says the Lord,
‘Who store up violence and [c]robbery in their palaces.’ ”
11 Therefore thus says the Lord God:
“An adversary shall be all around the land;
He shall sap your strength from you,
And your palaces shall be plundered.”
12 Thus says the Lord:
“As a shepherd [d]takes from the mouth of a lion
Two legs or a piece of an ear,
So shall the children of Israel be taken out
Who dwell in Samaria—
In the corner of a bed and [e]on the edge of a couch!
13 Hear and testify against the house of Jacob,”
Says the Lord God, the God of hosts,
14 “That in the day I punish Israel for their transgressions,
I will also visit destruction on the altars of (C)Bethel;
And the horns of the altar shall be cut off
And fall to the ground.
15 I will [f]destroy (D)the winter house along with (E)the summer house;
The (F)houses of ivory shall perish,
And the great houses shall have an end,”
Says 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

15 I will tear down the winter house(P)
along with the summer house;(Q)
the houses adorned with ivory(R) will be destroyed

11 (A)The Lord gives voice before His army,
For His camp is very great;

For the (C)day of the Lord is great and very terrible;
(D)Who can endure it?
A Call to Repentance
12 “Now, therefore,” says the Lord,
(E)“Turn to Me with all your heart,
With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.”
13 So (F)rend your heart, and not (G)your garments;
Return to the Lord your God,
For He is (H)gracious and merciful,
Slow to anger, and of great kindness;
And He relents from doing harm.
14 (I)Who knows if He will turn and relent,
And leave (J)a blessing behind Him—
(K)A grain offering and a drink offering
For the Lord your God?
15 (L)Blow the [a]trumpet in Zion,
(M)Consecrate a fast,
Call a sacred assembly;
16 Gather the people,
(N)Sanctify the congregation,
Assemble the elders,
Gather the children and nursing babes;
(O)Let the bridegroom go out from his chamber,
And the bride from her dressing room.
17 Let the priests, who minister to the Lord,
Weep (P)between the porch and the altar;
Let them say, (Q)“Spare Your people, O Lord,
And do not give Your heritage to reproach,
That the nations should [b]rule over them.
(R)Why should they say among the peoples,
‘Where is their God?’ ”

And pity His people.

Return(J) to the Lord your God,

14 Who knows? He may turn(N) and relent(O)

grain offerings and drink offerings(Q)

weep(Z) between the portico and the altar.(AA)

Why should they say among the peoples,
‘Where is their God?(AD)’”
