2. to go to that great city of Nineveh and preach his message of doom.
3. Jonah obeyed the Lord and went to Nineveh. The city was so big that it took three days just to walk through it.
4. After walking for a day, Jonah warned the people, “Forty days from now, Nineveh will be destroyed!”
5. They believed God's message and set a time when they would go without eating to show their sorrow. Then everyone in the city, no matter who they were, dressed in sackcloth.
6. When the king of Nineveh heard what was happening, he also dressed in sackcloth; he left the royal palace and sat in dust.
