Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey. 4And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown! 5And the men of Nineveh believedGod, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. 6And the word reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and laid his robe from him, and covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. 7And 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 anything: let them not feed, nor drink water; 8and let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily untoGod; and let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. 9Who knoweth but thatGod will turn and repent, and will turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? 10AndGod saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; andGod repented of the evil that he had said he would do unto them, and he did [it] not. ‹Previous chapterJonah 2Next chapterJonah 4›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.VersionsJonah 3 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
