AND the Word of Yahuah came unto Yonah the second time, saying,
Arise, go unto Niyneveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid you.
So Yonah arose, and went unto Niyneveh, according to the Word of Yahuah. Now Niyneveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey.
And Yonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Niyneveh shall be overthrown.
So the people of Niyneveh believed Elohiym, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
For word came unto the king of Niyneveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Niyneveh 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:
But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto Elohiym: yea, let them turn everyone from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
Who can tell if Elohiym will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
And Elohiym saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and Elohiym repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.
