1	And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying# ,
			2	Arise# , go# unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach# unto it the preaching that I bid# thee.
			3	So Jonah arose# , and went# unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey. [exceeding: Heb. of God]
			4	And Jonah began# to enter# into the city a day's journey, and he cried# , and said# , Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown# .
			5	So the people of Nineveh believed# God, and proclaimed# a fast, and put# on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
			6	For word came# unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose# from his throne, and he laid# his robe from him, and covered# him with sackcloth, and sat# in ashes.
			7	And he caused it to be proclaimed# and published# through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying# , Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste# any thing: let them not feed# , nor drink# water: [published: Heb. said] [nobles: Heb. great men]
			8	But let man and beast be covered# with sackcloth, and cry# mightily unto God: yea, let them turn# every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
			9	Who can tell# if God will turn# and repent# , and turn away# from his fierce anger, that we perish# not?
			10	And God saw# their works, that they turned# from their evil way; and God repented# of the evil, that he had said# that he would do# unto them; and he did# it not.
