4 H3124 And Jonah H2490 began [H8686] H935 to enter [H8800] H5892 into the city H259 a H3117 day's H4109 journey H7121 , and he cried [H8799] H559 , and said [H8799] H705 , Yet forty H3117 days H5210 , and Nineveh H2015 shall be overthrown [H8737] .

5 H582 So the people H5210 of Nineveh H539 believed [H8686] H430 God H7121 , and proclaimed [H8799] H6685 a fast H3847 , and put [H8799] H8242 on sackcloth H1419 , from the greatest H6996 of them even to the least of them.

6 H1697 For word H5060 came [H8799] H4428 unto the king H5210 of Nineveh H6965 , and he arose [H8799] H3678 from his throne H5674 , and he laid [H8686] H155 his robe H3680 from him, and covered [H8762] H8242 him with sackcloth H3427 , and sat [H8799] H665 in ashes.

7 H2199 And he caused it to be proclaimed [H8686] H559 and published [H8799] H5210 through Nineveh H2940 by the decree H4428 of the king H1419 and his nobles H559 , saying [H8800] H120 , Let neither man H929 nor beast H1241 , herd H6629 nor flock H2938 , taste [H8799] H3972 any thing H7462 : let them not feed [H8799] H8354 , nor drink [H8799] H4325 water:

8 H120 But let man H929 and beast H3680 be covered [H8691] H8242 with sackcloth H7121 , and cry [H8799] H2394 mightily H430 unto God H7725 : yea, let them turn [H8799] H376 every one H7451 from his evil H1870 way H2555 , and from the violence H3709 that is in their hands.

9 H3045 Who can tell [H8802] H430 if God H7725 will turn [H8799] H5162 and repent [H8738] H7725 , and turn away [H8804] H2740 from his fierce H639 anger H6 , that we perish [H8799] not?

10 H430 And God H7200 saw [H8799] H4639 their works H7725 , that they turned [H8804] H7451 from their evil H1870 way H430 ; and God H5162 repented [H8735] H7451 of the evil H1696 , that he had said [H8765] H6213 that he would do [H8800] H6213 unto them; and he did [H8804] it not.

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ 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. ⁵ And the people of Nineveh believed God; and they proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. ⁶ And the tidings reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. ⁷ And he made proclamation 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: ⁸ but let them be covered with sackcloth, both man and beast, and let them cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. ⁹ Who knoweth whether God will not turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? ¹⁰ And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, which he said he would do unto them; and he did it not.
