Jonah 3:1-4
The People of Nineveh Respond to Jonah’s Warning
3:1 The Lord said to Jonah a second time,
3:2 “Go immediately to Nineveh, that large city, and proclaim to it the message that I tell you.”
3:3 So Jonah went immediately to Nineveh, as the Lord had said. (Now Nineveh was an enormous city – it required three days to walk through it!)
3:4 When Jonah began to enter the city one day’s walk, he announced, “At the end of forty days, Nineveh will be overthrown!”
