Jonah 3:5 So the people of Nineveh
believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the
greatest of them even to the least of them.
Jonah 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.
Jonah 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: {published: Heb. said} {nobles: Heb. great
men}
Jonah 3:8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry
mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way,
and from the violence that is in their hands.
Jonah 3:9 Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away
from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
Jonah 3:10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil
way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do
unto them; and he did it not.
The people and king of Nineveh believed the
preaching of Jonah and repented of their sin and turned toward God.
Nineveh in Rabble
Nahum 3:7 And it shall come to pass, that all
they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is
laid waste: who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for
thee?
