Berean Standard Bible
And
there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto
Jonah a second time ,
saying,
Then
the
word of the
LORD
came
to
Jonah a second time :
`Rise,
go unto
Nineveh,
the great city ,
and proclaim unto
it the proclamation
that I am
speaking
unto
thee;'
“Get
up!
Go to
the great city of
Nineveh
and proclaim to
it the message
that I give
you.”
and
Jonah riseth,
and he
goeth
unto
Nineveh, according
to
the word of Jehovah
. And
Nineveh hath
been
a
great city before
God
, a journey
of
three days
.
This
time
Jonah got
up
and went
to
Nineveh, in
accordance
with
the word of the
LORD
. Now
Nineveh was
an
exceedingly
great city, requiring
a three -day
journey
.
And
Jonah
beginneth
to
go
in
to
the city
a
journey
of
one
day ,
and
proclaimeth
, and saith
, `Yet
forty days --
and Nineveh is
overturned .'
On
the first
day of
his
journey
, Jonah
set
out
into
the
city
and proclaimed
, “
Forty more
days and Nineveh will
be
overturned !”
And the men
of
Nineveh
believe
in
God ,
and
proclaim
a fast ,
and put
on
sackcloth, from their
greatest even
unto
their
least ,
And the Ninevites
believed
God .
They
proclaimed
a fast and dressed
in
sackcloth, from the
greatest of
them
to
the
least .
seeing
the
word doth
come
unto
the king of Nineveh, and
he riseth
from his throne, and
removeth
his honourable
robe from
off
him
, and
spreadeth
out
sackcloth, and sitteth
on
the
ashes ,
When
word reached
the king of Nineveh, he got
up
from his throne, took
off
his royal
robe, covered
himself
with
sackcloth, and sat
in
ashes .
and
he crieth
and
saith
in Nineveh by a
decree of the king and his great
ones,
saying,
`
Man and
beast, herd and
flock --
let
them
not
taste anything ,
let
them
not
feed,
even
water
let
them
not drink ;
Then
he issued
a
proclamation
in Nineveh :
“
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 .
and
cover
themselves
`with'
sackcloth
let man and beast, and let
them
call unto
God mightily,
and
let them
turn
back
each from his evil way,
and from the violence that
`is'
in their
hands.
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.
Who knoweth
? He
doth
turn
back,
and
God hath
repented,
and hath
turned
back
from the
heat
of
His anger, and
we do
not perish. '
Who knows
? God may
turn
and relent;
He
may
turn
from His fierce
anger, so
that
we will
not perish. ”
And
God seeth
their works,
that they have
turned back
from their evil way,
and
God
repenteth
of
the evil
that
He spake
of
doing
to them ,
and
he
hath
not
done
`it'
.
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.
