AKJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 H1697 And the word H3068 of the LORD H1961 came H3124 to Jonah H8145 the second H559 time, saying,

2 H6965 Arise, H1980 go H5210 to Nineveh, H1419 that great H5892 city, H7121 and preach H7150 to it the preaching H1696 that I bid you.

3 H3124 So Jonah H6965 arose, H3212 and went H5210 to Nineveh, H1697 according to the word H3068 of the LORD. H5210 Now Nineveh H430 was an exceeding H1419 great H5892 city H7969 of three H3117 days’ H4109 journey.

4 H3124 And Jonah H2490 began H935 to enter H5892 into the city H3117 a day’s H4109 journey, H7121 and he cried, H559 and said, H5750 Yet H705 forty H3117 days, H5210 and Nineveh H2015 shall be overthrown.

5 H582 So the people H5210 of Nineveh H539 believed H430 God, H7121 and proclaimed H6685 a fast, H3847 and put H8242 on sackcloth, H1419 from the greatest H6996 of them even to the least of them.

6 H1697 For word H5060 came H4428 to the king H5210 of Nineveh, H6965 and he arose H3678 from his throne, H5674 and he laid H155 his robe H3680 from him, and covered H8242 him with sackcloth, H3427 and sat H665 in ashes.

7 H2199 And he caused it to be proclaimed H559 and published H5210 through Nineveh H2940 by the decree H4428 of the king H1419 and his nobles, H559 saying, H369 Let neither H120 man H929 nor beast, H1241 herd H6629 nor flock, H2938 taste H3972 any H7462 thing: let them not feed, H408 nor H8354 drink H4325 water:

8 H120 But let man H929 and beast H3680 be covered H8242 with sackcloth, H7121 and cry H2393 mightily H430 to God: H7725 yes, let them turn H376 every H376 one H7451 from his evil H1870 way, H2555 and from the violence H3709 that is in their hands.

9 H4310 Who H3045 can tell H430 if God H7725 will turn H5162 and repent, H7725 and turn H2740 away from his fierce H639 anger, H6 that we perish not?

10 H430 And God H7200 saw H4639 their works, H7725 that they turned H7451 from their evil H1870 way; H430 and God H5162 repented H7451 of the evil, H1696 that he had said H6213 that he would do H6213 to them; and he did it not.
