Jonah 3:6-8

Revised Geneva Translation

⁶ For Word came to the king of Nineveh. And he rose from his throne. And he laid his robe aside and covered himself with sackcloth and sat in ashes.

⁷ And he proclaimed and said through Nineveh, (by the counsel of the king and his nobles) saying, “Let neither man nor beast, bullock nor sheep, taste anything nor feed nor drink water.

⁸ “But let man and beast put on sackcloth and cry mightily to God. Indeed, let every man turn from his evil way, and from the wickedness that is in their hands.
