The People of Nineveh Repent

6 The word reached ^{▼▼Or had reached} the king of Nineveh, and ^ohe arose from his throne, removed his robe, covered himself with sackcloth, ^pand sat in ashes. 7 And he issued a proclamation and published through Nineveh, ^q“By the decree of the king and his nobles: Let neither man nor ^rbeast, herd nor flock, taste anything. Let them not feed or drink water, 8 but let man and ^sbeast be covered with sackcloth, and let them call out mightily to God. ^tLet everyone turn from his evil way and from ^uthe violence that is in his hands. 9 ^vWho knows? God may turn and relent ^wand turn from his fierce anger, so that we may not perish.”

10 When God saw what they did, ^xhow they turned from their evil way, ^yGod relented of the disaster that he had said he would do to them, and he did not do it.
