5 So the men of Nineveh trust Elohim and call a fast and enrobe saq - from their greatest even to their lesser.
6 And word touches to the sovereign of Nineveh; and he rises from his throne and passes his mighty mantle from him and covers himself with saq and sits in ashes:
7 and he cries throughout Nineveh, saying by the taste of the sovereign and his nobles, saying, Neither humanity nor animal, herd nor flock, tastes aught: neither grazes, nor drinks water:
8 and humanity and animal covers with saq and calls out severely to Elohim: yes, every man turns from his evil way and from the violence in their palms.
9 Who knows? Perhaps Elohim turns and sighs - turns from his fuming wrath, and we destruct not!
