Jonah set
out
into the city and proclaimed
, “
Forty more
days and Nineveh will
be overturned
! ”
Jonah began
to
enter
into the city a
day's
journey,
and he
cried

And
the Ninevites
believed God .
They proclaimed a fast and dressed
in
sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least.
The people
of
Nineveh
believed God ;
and
they proclaimed a fast ,

When

reached the king of Nineveh, he got
up
from his throne, took off his royal robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
The
news
reached the king of Nineveh, and
he arose
from his throne, and

“
By the decree of the king and his nobles :
Let no
man or
beast
, herd or
flock, taste anything at
all.
They
must
not eat
or
drink .
He made
a proclamation and
published
through
Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles ,
saying,
"
Let neither
man nor

not feed,
nor
drink water;
Furthermore,
let both
man
and
beast
be covered with sackcloth, and have
everyone
call
out
earnestly
to God. Let each
one
turn from his evil ways
and from the violence in his hands.
but
let them
be covered with sackcloth, both
man
and animal,
and
let
them
cry
mightily
to God. Yes,
let them
turn everyone
from his evil way,
and from the violence that
is
in his hands.
Who knows ?
God may
turn and relent;
He
may
turn from His fierce anger, so that we will
not perish .”
Who knows whether
God will
not
turn and repent,
and
turn away
from his fierce anger, so that we might
not perish ?"
When
God saw their actions—
that they had
turned from their evil ways—He
relented
from
the disaster
He had
threatened
to bring
upon
them.
God saw their works,
that they turned from their evil way.
God
repented
of
the evil
which
he said
he
would
do
to them ,
and
he
didn't
do
it
.
