1The word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time:[#3:1 Jnh 1:1]
2“Get up! Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach the message that I tell you.”[#3:2 Zph 2:13–15; #3:2 Jr 1:17; Ezk 2:7]
3Jonah got up and went to Nineveh according to the Lord ’s command.
Now Nineveh was an extremely great city, , a three-day walk.
4Jonah set out on the first day of his walk in the city and proclaimed, “In forty days Nineveh will be demolished! ”[#3:4 2Kg 18:26–28; Mt 12:41; Lk 11:32]
5Then the people of Nineveh believed God. They proclaimed a fast and dressed in sackcloth #— #from the greatest of them to the least.[#3:5 Dn 9:3; Jl 1:14]
6When word reached the king of Nineveh, he got up from his throne, took off his royal robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.[#3:6 1Kg 21:27; Est 4:1–4; Jr 6:26; Ezk 27:30–31]
7Then he issued a decree in Nineveh:[#3:7 2Ch 20:3; Ezr 8:21]
10God saw their actions #— #that they had turned from their evil ways #— #so God relented from the disaster he had threatened them with. And he did not do it.[#3:10 1Kg 21:27–29; 2Kg 17:13; 2Ch 7:14; Jr 18:11; 31:18; #3:10 Ex 32:14; Am 7:3,6]
