1. And the word of the Lord came to Jonas the second time, saying:
2. Arise, and go to Ninive the great city: and preach in it the preaching that I bid thee.
3. And Jonas arose, and went to Ninive, according to the word of the Lord: now Ninive was a great city of three days' journey.
4. And Jonas began to enter into the city one day's journey: and he cried, and said: Yet forty days, and Ninive shall be destroyed.
5. And the men of Ninive believed in God: and they proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth from the greatest to the least.
