Jonah 3:3-5

Modern English Version

³ So Jonah got up and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly large city, a three-day journey across. ⁴ Jonah began to enter the city, going a day’s walk. And he cried out, “In forty days’ time, Nineveh will be overthrown!” ⁵ So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast. And everyone, great and small, put on sackcloth.
