ASV_Strong : Jonah 3
1. And the word[H1697] of Jehovah[H3068] came unto Jonah[H3124] the second[H8145] time[H559], saying,
2. Arise[H6965], go[H3212] unto Nineveh[H5210], that great[H1419] city[H5892], and preach[H7121] unto it the preaching[H7150] that I bid thee[H1696].
3. So Jonah[H3124] arose[H6965], and went[H3212] unto Nineveh[H5210], according to the word[H1697] of Jehovah[H3068]. Now Nineveh[H5210] was an exceeding[H430] great[H1419] city[H5892], of three[H7969] days[H3117]' journey[H4109].
4. And Jonah[H3124] began[H2490] to enter[H935] into the city[H5892] a[H259] day[H3117]'s journey[H4109], and he cried[H7121], and said[H559], Yet forty[H705] days[H3117], and Nineveh[H5210] shall be overthrown[H2015].
5. And the people[H582] of Nineveh[H5210] believed[H539] God[H430]; and they proclaimed[H7121] a fast[H6685], and put[H3847] on sackcloth[H8242], from the greatest[H1419] of them even to the least of them[H6996].
6. And the tidings[H1697] reached[H5060] the king[H4428] of Nineveh[H5210], and he arose[H6965] from his throne[H3678], and laid[H5674] his robe[H155] from him[H3680], and covered him with sackcloth[H8242], and sat[H3427] in ashes[H665].
7. And he made proclamation[H2199] and published[H559] through Nineveh[H5210] by the decree[H2940] of the king[H4428] and his nobles[H1419], saying[H559], Let neither man[H120] nor beast[H929], herd[H1241] nor flock[H6629], taste[H2938] anything[H3972]; let them not feed[H7462], nor drink[H8354] water[H4325];
8. but let them be covered[H3680] with sackcloth[H8242], both man[H120] and beast[H929], and let them cry[H7121] mightily[H2394] unto God[H430]: yea[H7725], let them turn every one[H376] from his evil[H7451] way[H1870], and from the violence[H2555] that is in his hands[H3709].
9. Who knoweth[H3045] whether God[H430] will not turn[H7725] and repent[H5162], and turn away[H7725] from his fierce[H2740] anger[H639], that we perish not[H6]?
10. And God[H430] saw[H7200] their works[H4639], that they turned[H7725] from their evil[H7451] way[H1870]; and God[H430] repented[H5162] of the evil[H7451] which he said[H1696] he would do[H6213] unto them[H6213]; and he did it not.
