Jonah 3:1-5 - The People Of Nineveh Repent At Jonah's Proclamation
1 Then came the word of the LORD unto Jonah again, saying, 2 "Up, and get thee to Nineveh that great city, and preach unto them the preaching which I bade thee." 3 And he arose and went to Nineveh at the LORD's commandment. Nineveh was a great city unto God, containing three days journey. 4 And Jonah went to and entered into the city even a day's journey, and cried, saying, "There shall not pass forty days but Nineveh shall be overthrown." 5 And the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed fasting, and arrayed themselves in sackcloth, as well the great as the small of them.
