Jonah 3 :: Bible in Basic English (BBE)

Nineveh Repents

Jon 3:1And the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time, saying,

Jon 3:2Up! go to Nineveh, that great town, and give it the word which I have given you.

Jon 3:3So Jonah got up and went to Nineveh as the Lord had said. Now Nineveh was a very great town, three days' journey from end to end.

Jon 3:4

Jon 3:4And Jonah first of all went a day's journey into the town, and crying out said, In forty days destruction will overtake Nineveh.

Jon 3:5

Jon 3:5And the people of Nineveh had belief in God; and a time was fixed for going without food, and they put on haircloth, from the greatest to the least.

Jon 3:6

Jon 3:6And the word came to the king of Nineveh, and he got up from his seat of authority, and took off his robe, and covering himself with haircloth, took his seat in the dust.

Jon 3:7

Jon 3:7And he had it given out in Nineveh, By the order of the king and his great men, no man or beast, herd or flock, is to have a taste of anything; let them have no food or water:

Jon 3:8

Jon 3:8And let man and beast be covered with haircloth, and let them make strong prayers to God: and let everyone be turned from his evil way and the violent acts of their hands.

Jon 3:9

Jon 3:9Who may say that God will not be turned, changing his purpose and turning away from his burning wrath, so that destruction may not overtake us?

Jon 3:10

Jon 3:10And God saw what they did, how they were turned from their evil way; and God's purpose was changed as to the evil which he said he would do to them, and he did it not.
