1 Then the word of the LORD came to Jonah a second time:
|
|
2 "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it the message that I tell you."
|
2 "Go to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message I give you."
|
|
3 So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, three days' journey in breadth.
|
3 Jonah obeyed the word of the LORD and went to Nineveh. Now Nineveh was a very important city--a visit required three days.

4 Jonah began to go into the city, going a day's journey. And he called out, "Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!"
|
4 On the first day, Jonah started into the city. He proclaimed: "Forty more days and Nineveh will be overturned."
