1. And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jonah a second time, saying,
|
1. And the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 Jonah H3124 the second time H8145 , saying H559 ,
|
|
2. `Rise, go unto Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim unto it the proclamation that I am speaking unto thee;`
|
2. Arise H6965 , go H1980 unto H413 Nineveh H5210 , that great H1419 city H5892 , and preach H7121 unto H413 it H853 the preaching H7150 that H834 I H595 bid H1696 H413 thee.
|
|
3. and Jonah riseth, and he goeth unto Nineveh, according to the word of Jehovah. And Nineveh hath been a great city before God, a journey of three days.
|
3. So Jonah H3124 arose H6965 , and went H1980 unto H413 Nineveh H5210 , according to the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 . Now Nineveh H5210 was H1961 an exceeding H430 great H1419 city H5892 of three H7969 days H3117 ' journey H4109 .
|
|
4. And Jonah beginneth to go in to the city a journey of one day, and proclaimeth, and saith, `Yet forty days -- and Nineveh is overturned.`
|
4. And Jonah H3124 began H2490 to enter H935 into the city H5892 a H259 day H3117 's journey H4109 , and he cried H7121 , and said H559 , Yet H5750 forty H705 days H3117 , and Nineveh H5210 shall be overthrown H2015 .
|
|
5. And the men of Nineveh believe in God, and proclaim a fast, and put on sackcloth, from their greatest even unto their least,
|
5. So the people H376 of Nineveh H5210 believed H539 God H430 , and proclaimed H7121 a fast H6685 , and put on H3847 sackcloth H8242 , from the greatest H4480 H1419 of them even to H5704 the least H6996 of them.
|
|
6. seeing the word doth come unto the king of Nineveh, and he riseth from his throne, and removeth his honourable robe from off him, and spreadeth out sackcloth, and sitteth on the ashes,
|
6. For word H1697 came H5060 unto H413 the king H4428 of Nineveh H5210 , and he arose H6965 from his throne H4480 H3678 , and he laid H5674 his robe H155 from H4480 H5921 him , and covered H3680 him with sackcloth H8242 , and sat H3427 in H5921 ashes H665 .
|
|
7. and he crieth and saith in Nineveh by a decree of the king and his great ones, saying, `Man and beast, herd and flock -- let them not taste anything, let them not feed, even water let them not drink;
|
7. And he caused it to be proclaimed H2199 and published H559 through Nineveh H5210 by the decree H4480 H2940 of the king H4428 and his nobles H1419 , saying H559 , Let neither H408 man H120 nor beast H929 , herd H1241 nor flock H6629 , taste H2938 any thing H3972 : let them not H408 feed H7462 , nor H408 drink H8354 water H4325 :
|
|
8. and cover themselves with sackcloth let man and beast, and let them call unto God mightily, and let them turn back each from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
|
8. But let man H120 and beast H929 be covered H3680 with sackcloth H8242 , and cry H7121 mightily H2394 unto H413 God H430 : yea , let them turn H7725 every one H376 from his evil H7451 way H4480 H1870 , and from H4480 the violence H2555 that H834 is in their hands H3709 .
|
|
9. Who knoweth? He doth turn back, and God hath repented, and hath turned back from the heat of His anger, and we do not perish.`
|
9. Who H4310 can tell H3045 if God H430 will turn H7725 and repent H5162 , and turn away H7725 from his fierce H4480 H2740 anger H639 , that we perish H6 not H3808 ?
|
|
10. And God seeth their works, that they have turned back from their evil way, and God repenteth of the evil that He spake of doing to them, and he hath not done it.
|
10. And God H430 saw H7200 H853 their works H4639 , that H3588 they turned H7725 from their evil H7451 way H4480 H1870 ; and God H430 repented H5162 of H5921 the evil H7451 , that H834 he had said H1696 that he would do H6213 unto them ; and he did H6213 it not H3808 .
