Dual Panel1Now the word<1697> of the LORD<3068> came<1961> to Jonah<3124> the second<8145> time<8145>, saying<559>,
2"Arise<6965>, go<1980> to Nineveh<5210> the great<1419> city<5892> and proclaim<7121> to it the proclamation<7150> which<834> I am going to tell<1696> you."
3So Jonah<3124> arose<6965> and went<1980> to Nineveh<5210> according to the word<1697> of the LORD<3068>. Now Nineveh<5210> was an exceedingly<430> great<1419> city<5892>, a three<7969> days'<3117> walk<4109>.
4Then Jonah<3124> began<2490> to go<935> through the city<5892> one<259> day's<3117> walk<4109>; and he cried<7121> out and said<559>, "Yet<5750> forty<705> days<3117> and Nineveh<5210> will be overthrown<2015>."
5Then the people<376> of Nineveh<5210> believed<539> in God<430>; and they called<7121> a fast<6685> and put<3847> on sackcloth<8242> from the greatest<1419> to the least<6996> of them.
6When the word<1697> reached<5060> the king<4428> of Nineveh<5210>, he arose<6965> from his throne<3678>, laid<5674> aside<5674> his robe<155> from him, covered<3680> himself with sackcloth<8242> and sat<3427> on the ashes<665>.
7He issued<2199> a proclamation<2199> and it said<559>, "In Nineveh<5210> by the decree<2940> of the king<4428> and his nobles<1419>: Do not let man<120>, beast<929>, herd<1241>, or flock<6629> taste<2938> a thing<3972>. Do not let them eat<7462> or drink<8354> water<4325>.
8"But both man<120> and beast<929> must be covered<3680> with sackcloth<8242>; and let men call<7121> on God<430> earnestly<2394> that each<376> may turn<7725> from his wicked<7463> way<1870> and from the violence<2555> which<834> is in his hands<3709>.
9"Who<4310> knows<3045>, God<430> may turn<7725> and relent<5162> and withdraw<7725> His burning<2740> anger<639> so that we will not perish<6>."
10When God<430> saw<7200> their deeds<4639>, that they turned<7725> from their wicked<7463> way<1870>, then God<430> relented<5162> concerning<5921> the calamity<7463> which<834> He had declared<1696> He would bring<6213> upon them. And He did not do<6213> it.
