[3:1] Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah the second time, saying,
[3:2] “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it the message that I tell you.”
[3:3] So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, three days’ journey in breadth.
[3:4] Jonah began to go into the city, going a day’s journey. And he called out, “Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!”
[3:5] And the people of Nineveh believed God. They called for a fast and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least of them.
