Jonah 3:1-4

1 Once again the Lord spoke to Jonah.

2 He said, "Go to Nineveh, that great city, and proclaim to the people the message I have given you."

3 So Jonah obeyed the Lord and went to Nineveh, a city so large that it took three days to walk through it.

4 Jonah started through the city, and after walking a whole day, he proclaimed, "In forty days Nineveh will be destroyed!" ¹
