new⁽ⁱ⁾

1 H1697 And the word H3068 of the LORD H3124 came to Jonah H8145 the second H559 [H8800] time, saying,

2 H6965 [H8798] Arise, H3212 [H8798] go H5210 to Nineveh, H1419 that great H5892 city, H7121 [H8798] and call H7150 to it the calling H1696 [H8802] that I bid thee.

3 H3124 So Jonah H6965 [H8799] arose, H3212 [H8799] 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 [H8686] began H935 [H8800] to enter H5892 into the city H259 a H3117 day's H4109 journey, H7121 [H8799] and he called, H559 [H8799] and said, H705 Yet forty H3117 days, H5210 and Nineveh H2015 [H8737] shall be overthrown.

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

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

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

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

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

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