Jonah 3 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Nineveh Repents

Now the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came^H1961 to Jonah^H3124 the second^H8145 time^H8145, saying^H559,

Jon 3:2“Arise, go to Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim to it the proclamation which I am going to tell you.”

Jon 3:3So Jonah got up and went to Nineveh according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was [fn]an exceedingly large city, a three days’ walk.

Jon 3:4

Jon 3:4Then Jonah began to go through the city one day’s walk; and he cried out and said, “Forty more days, and Nineveh will be overthrown.”

Jon 3:5

Then the people^H376 of Nineveh^H5210 believed^H539 in God^H430; and they called^H7121 a fast^H6685 and put^H3847 on^H3847 sackcloth^H8242, from the greatest^H1419 to the least^H6996 of them.

Jon 3:6

Jon 3:6When the word reached the king of Nineveh, he got up from his throne, removed his robe from himself, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat on the [fn]dust.

Jon 3:7

Jon 3:7And he issued a proclamation, and it said, “In Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles: No person, animal, herd, or flock is to taste anything. They are not to eat, or drink water.

Jon 3:8

Jon 3:8“But every person and animal must be covered with sackcloth; and people are to call on God vehemently, and they are to turn, each one from his evil way, and from the violence which is in their hands.

Jon 3:9

Jon 3:9“Who knows, God may turn and relent, and turn from His burning anger so that we will not perish.”

Jon 3:10

When God^H430 saw^H7200 their deeds^H4639, that they turned^H7725 from their evil^H7451 way^H1870, then God^H430 relented^H5162 of the disaster^H7451 which^H834 He had declared^H1696 He would [fn]bring^H6213 on them. So He did not do^H6213 it.
