1 the Lord’s word came to Jonah the second time, saying,
2 “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and proclaim to it the message that I give you.”
3 So Jonah arose, and went to Nineveh, according to the Lord’s word. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, three days’ journey across.
4 Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried out, and said, “In forty days, Nineveh will be overthrown!”
5 The people of Nineveh believed God; and they proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from their greatest even to their least.
