3:1 And the word of Yehovah came to Jonas
the second time, saying,
3:2 Rise, go to Nineve, the great city, and preach in it according to the
former preaching which I spoke to thee of.
3:3 And Jonas arose, and went to Nineve, as Yehovah had spoken. Now Nineve
was an exceeding great city, of about three days' journey.
3:4 And Jonas began to enter into the city about a day's journey, and he
proclaimed, and said, Yet three days, and Nineve shall be overthrown.
3:5 And the men of Nineve believed Elohim, and proclaimed a fast, and put on
sackcloths, from the greatest of them to the least of them.
3:6 And the word reached the king of Nineve, and he arose from off his
throne, and took off his raiment from him, and put on sackcloth, and sat on
ashes.
3:7 And proclamation was made, and it was commanded in Nineve by the king an
by his great men, saying, Let not men, or cattle, or oxen, or sheep, taste
[any thing], nor feed, nor drink water.
3:8 So men and cattle were clothed with sackcloths, and cried earnestly to
Elohim; and they turned every one from their evil way, and from the iniquity
that was in their hands, saying,
3:9 Who knows if Elohim will repent, and turn from his fierce anger, ad [so] we
shall not perish?
3:10 And Elohim saw their works, that they turned from their evil ways; and Elohim
repented of the evil which he had said he would do to them; and he did [it]
not. |
3:1 And the word of Yehovah came unto Jonah
the second time, saying,
3:2 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the
preaching that I bid thee.
3:3 So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the
Yehovah. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey.
3:4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried,
and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
3:5 So the people of Nineveh believed Elohim, and proclaimed a fast, and put on
sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
3:6 For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne,
and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in
ashes.
3:7 And 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 any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water:
3:8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto
Elohim: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence
that is in their hands.
3:9 Who can tell if Elohim will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce
anger, that we perish not?
3:10 And Elohim saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and Elohim
repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he
did it not. |
