Jonah 3:6-10

The People of Nineveh Repent

6The word reached
Or had reached
the king of Nineveh, and bhe arose from his throne, removed his robe, covered himself with sackcloth, cand sat in ashes.
7And he issued a proclamation and published through Nineveh, d“By the decree of the king and his nobles: Let neither man nor ebeast, herd nor flock, taste anything. Let them not feed or drink water, 8but let man and fbeast be covered with sackcloth, and let them call out mightily to God. gLet everyone turn from his evil way and from hthe violence that is in his hands. 9 iWho knows? God may turn and relent jand turn from his fierce anger, so that we may not perish.”

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