1 And the Devar Hashem came unto Yonah the second time, saying,
2 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that ir hagedolah, and preach unto it the preaching that I give thee.
3 So Yonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the Devar Hashem. Now Nineveh was an exceeding ir gedolah of a journey of shloshet yamim.
4 And Yonah began to enter into the city one day's journey, and he cried out and preached, and said, Yet arba'im yamim (40 days), and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
5 So the people of Nineveh had emunah in Elohim, and proclaimed a tzom, and put on sackcloth, from their gedolim even to their ketanim.
6 For word came unto HaMelech of Nineveh, and he arose from his kisse, and he laid aside his royal robe, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
