Jonah 3:5-10

So the people
<0582>
of Nineveh
<05210>
believed
<0539> (8686)
God
<0430>_,
and proclaimed
<07121> (8799)
a fast
<06685>_,
and put
<03847> (8799)
on sackcloth
<08242>_,
from the greatest
<01419>
of them even to the least
<06996>
of them.
For word
<01697>
came
<05060> (8799)
unto the king
<04428>
of Nineveh
<05210>_,
and he arose
<06965> (8799)
from his throne
<03678>_,
and he laid
<05674> (8686)
his robe
<0155>
from him, and covered
<03680> (8762)
[him] with sackcloth
<08242>_,
and sat
<03427> (8799)
in ashes
<0665>_.
And he caused [it] to be proclaimed
<02199> (8686)
and published
<0559> (8799)
through Nineveh
<05210>
by the decree
<02940>
of the king
<04428>
and his nobles
<01419>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Let neither man
<0120>
nor beast
<0929>_,
herd
<01241>
nor flock
<06629>_,
taste
<02938> (8799)
any thing
<03972>_:
let them not feed
<07462> (8799)_,
nor drink
<08354> (8799)
water
<04325>_:
{published: Heb. said} {nobles: Heb. great men}
But let man
<0120>
and beast
<0929>
be covered
<03680> (8691)
with sackcloth
<08242>_,
and cry
<07121> (8799)
mightily
<02394>
unto God
<0430>_:
yea, let them turn
<07725> (8799)
every one
<0376>
from his evil
<07451>
way
<01870>_,
and from the violence
<02555>
that [is] in their hands
<03709>_.
Who can tell
<03045> (8802)
[if] God
<0430>
will turn
<07725> (8799)
and repent
<05162> (8738)_,
and turn away
<07725> (8804)
from his fierce
<02740>
anger
<0639>_,
that we perish
<06> (8799)
not?
And God
<0430>
saw
<07200> (8799)
their works
<04639>_,
that they turned
<07725> (8804)
from their evil
<07451>
way
<01870>_;
and God
<0430>
repented
<05162> (8735)
of the evil
<07451>_,
that he had said
<01696> (8765)
that he would do
<06213> (8800)
unto them; and he did
<06213> (8804)
[it] not.
