1. Then the lord spoke to Jonah a second time:
2. “Get up and go to the great city of Nineveh, and deliver the message I have given you.”
3. This time Jonah obeyed the lord’s command and went to Nineveh, a city so large that it took three days to see it all.
4. On the day Jonah entered the city, he shouted to the crowds: “Forty days from now Nineveh will be destroyed!”
5. The people of Nineveh believed God’s message, and from the greatest to the least, they declared a fast and put on burlap to show their sorrow.
