Jonah 3:1-5 - The People Of Nineveh Repent At Jonah's Proclamation
1 And the word of Yahweh came to Jonah a second [time], saying, 2 "Get up! Go to Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim to it the message that I [am] telling you." 3 So Jonah got up and went to Nineveh according to the word of Yahweh. Now Nineveh was {an extraordinarily great city}--a journey of three days [across]. 4 And Jonah began to go into the city a journey of one day, and he cried out and said, "Forty more days and Nineveh will be demolished!" 5 And the people of Nineveh believed in God, and they proclaimed a fast and put on sackcloth--from the greatest of them {to the least important}.
