Yonah - Jonah - Chapter 3
Chapter 3
| 1. And the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time, saying: |
|
א. |
| 2. Arise, go to Nineveh the great city, and proclaim upon it the proclamation that I speak to you. |
|
ב. |
| 3. And Jonah arose and went to Nineveh according to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, a walk of three days. |
|
ג. |
| 4. And Jonah commenced to come into the city, one day's walk, and he proclaimed and said, "In another forty days Nineveh shall be overturned!" |
|
ד. |
| 5. And the people of Nineveh believed in God, and they proclaimed a fast and donned sackcloth, from their greatest to their smallest. |
|
ה. |
| 6. And the word reached the king of Nineveh, whereupon he rose from his throne, took off his royal robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat on the ashes. |
|
ו. |
| 7. And he caused it to be proclaimed and published throughout Nineveh: By the counsel of the king and his nobles, saying: Neither man nor beast, neither cattle nor sheep shall taste anything; they shall not graze, neither shall they drink water. |
|
ז. |
| 8. And they shall cover themselves with sackcloth, both man and beast, and they shall call mightily to God, and everyone shall repent of his evil way and of the dishonest gain which is in their hands. |
|
ח. |
| 9. Whoever knows shall repent, and God will relent, and He will return from His burning wrath, and we will not perish. |
|
ט. |
| 10. And God saw their deeds, that they had repented of their evil way, and the Lord relented concerning the evil that He had spoken to do to them, and He did not do it. |
