'Message' in the Bible

Now this message from the LORD came to Amittai's son Jonah:

This message from the LORD came to Jonah a second time:

"Get up and go to Nineveh, that great city, and proclaim to it the message that I tell you."

Now Nineveh was a very large city, requiring a three-day journey to cross through it. As Jonah started into the city on the first day's journey, he proclaimed the message, "40 days more and Nineveh will be overthrown!"

When the message reached the king of Nineveh, he got up from his throne, removed his royal garments, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat down in ashes.
