1. Then the Lord spoke his word to Jonah a second time. He said,
2. “Leave at once for the important city, Nineveh. Announce to the people the message I have given you.”
3. Jonah immediately went to Nineveh as the Lord told him. Nineveh was a very large city. It took three days to walk through it.
4. Jonah entered the city and walked for about a day. Then he said, “In forty days Nineveh will be destroyed.”
