Jonah Goes to Nineveh

Jonah 3

1 Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah the second time, saying, 2 "Arise, go to l Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it the message that I tell you." 3 So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Now l Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, 1 three days' journey in breadth. 2 4 Jonah began to go into the city, going a day's journey. And he called out, "Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!" 5 m And the people of Nineveh believed God. n They called for a fast and o put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least of them.
