3Jonah · Contemporary English Version (2006)
1Once again the Lord told Jonah
2to go to that great city of Nineveh and preach his message of doom.
3Jonah obeyed the Lord and went to Nineveh. The city was so big that it took three days just to walk through it.
4After walking for a day, Jonah warned the people, “Forty days from now, Nineveh will be destroyed!”
5They believed God's message and set a time when they would go without eating to show their sorrow. Then everyone in the city, no matter who they were, dressed in sackcloth.
6When the king of Nineveh heard what was happening, he also dressed in sackcloth; he left the royal palace and sat in dust.
9Then he and his officials sent out an order for everyone in the city to obey. It said: None of you or your animals may eat or drink a thing. Each of you must wear sackcloth, and you must even put sackcloth on your animals. You must also pray to the Lord God with all your heart and stop being sinful and cruel. Maybe God will change his mind and have mercy on us, so we won't be destroyed.
10When God saw that the people had stopped doing evil things, he had pity and did not destroy them as he had planned. Notes
