Now the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 cameh1961 to Jonahh3124 the secondh8145 timeh8145, sayingh559,

2

"Ariseh6965, goh1980 to  aNinevehh5210 the greath1419 cityh5892b and  bproclaimh7121 to it the proclamationh7150 whichh834 I am going to tellh1696 you."

3

So Jonahh3124 aroseh6965 and wenth1980 to Ninevehh5210 according to the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068. Now Ninevehh5210 was  1an  aexceedinglyh430 greath1419 cityh5892b, a threeh7969 days'h3117 walkh4109.

4

Then Jonahh3124 beganh2490c to goh935 through the cityh5892b oneh259 day'sh3117 walkh4109; and he  acriedh7121 out and saidh559, "Yeth5750 fortyh705 daysh3117 and Ninevehh5210 will be overthrownh2015."

5

Then the peopleh376 of Ninevehh5210 believedh539 in Godh430; and they calledh7121 a  afasth6685 and puth3847 on sackclothh8242 from the greatesth1419 to the leasth6996a of them.

6

When the wordh1697 reachedh5060 the kingh4428 of Ninevehh5210, he aroseh6965 from his throneh3678, laidh5674a asideh5674a his robeh155 from him,  acoveredh3680 himself with sackclothh8242 and sath3427 on the  1ashesh665.

7

He issuedh2199 a  aproclamationh2199 and it saidh559, "In Ninevehh5210 by the decreeh2940 of the kingh4428 and his noblesh1419: Do not let manh120, beasth929, herdh1241, or flockh6629 tasteh2938 a thingh3972. Do not let them eath7462a or drinkh8354 waterh4325.

8

"But both manh120 and beasth929 must be coveredh3680 with sackclothh8242; and let  1men  acallh7121 on Godh430 earnestlyh2394 that eachh376 may  bturnh7725 from his wickedh7463a wayh1870 and from the violenceh2555 whichh834 is in  2his handsh3709.

9

aWhoh4310 knowsh3045, Godh430 may turnh7725 and relenth5162 and withdrawh7725 His burningh2740 angerh639 so that we will not perishh6."

10

When Godh430 sawh7200 their deedsh4639, that they  aturnedh7725 from their wickedh7463a wayh1870, then  bGodh430 relentedh5162 concerningh5921 the calamityh7463a whichh834 He had declaredh1696 He would  1bringh6213a upon them. And He did not doh6213a it.
