CHAP. III.
Jonas is sent again to preach
in Ninive. Upon their fasting
and repentance, God recalleth
the sentence, by
which they were to be destroyed.
1 And the word of the
Lord came to Jonas the
second time, saying:
2 Arise, and go to Ninive
the great city: and preach in
it the preaching that I bid
thee.
3 And Jonas arose, and
went to Ninive according to
the word of the Lord: now
Ninive was a great city note
of three days journey.
4 And Jonas began to enter
into the city one day's
journey: and he cried, and
said: Yet forty days, and Ninive
shall be destroyed.
5 And the men of Ninive
believed in God: and they
-- --
proclaimed a fast, and put on
sackcloth from the greatest to
the least.
6 And the word came to
the king of Ninive: and he
rose up out of his throne, and
cast away his robe from him,
and was clothed with sackcloth,
and sat in ashes.
7 And he caused it to be
proclaimed and published in
Ninive from the mouth of the
king and of his princes, saying:
Let neither men nor
beasts, oxen, nor sheep, taste
any thing: let them not feed,
nor drink water.
8 And let men and beasts
be covered with sackcloth,
and cry to the Lord with all
their strength, and let them
turn every one from his evil
way, and from the iniquity
that is in their hands.
9 Who can tell if God
will turn, and forgive: and
will turn away from his fierce
anger, and we shall not perish?
10 And God saw their
works, that they were turned
from their evil way: and God
had mercy with regard to the
evil which he had said, that
he would do to them, and he
did it not.
