2 Arise, go unto
Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.
Today’s ReadingJonah
Chapter 3
Cry mightily unto
God
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. 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: 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.
