2. “Get up, go to Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim to it the message that I tell you.”
3. So Jonah got up and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly large city, a three-day journey across.
4. Jonah began to enter the city, going a day’s walk. And he cried out, “In forty days’ time, Nineveh will be overthrown!”
5. So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast. And everyone, great and small, put on sackcloth.
6. When the news reached the king of Nineveh, he arose from his throne, removed his robe, covered himself in sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
