Jon 3:2'Rise, go unto Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim unto it the proclamation that I am speaking unto thee;'

Jon 3:4

Jon 3:4And Jonah beginneth to go in to the city a journey of one day, and proclaimeth, and saith, 'Yet forty days -- and Nineveh is overturned.'

Jon 3:7

Jon 3:7and he crieth and saith in Nineveh by a decree of the king and his great ones, saying, 'Man and beast, herd and flock -- let them not taste anything, let them not feed, even water let them not drink;

Jon 3:8

Jon 3:8and cover themselves with sackcloth let man and beast, and let them call unto God mightily, and let them turn back each from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
