Jonah 3:1-4

1 The word of the LORD came to Yonah the second time, saying,

2 "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach to it the message that I give you."

3 So Yonah arose, and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, three days' journey across.

4 Yonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried out, and said, "Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!"
