Jonah 3:1-4

Jonah Goes to Nineveh

1 A message came to Jonah from the LORD a second time. He said,

2 "Go to the great city of Nineveh. Announce to its people the message I give you."

3 Jonah obeyed the Lord. He went to Nineveh. It was a very important city. In fact, it took about three days to see all of it.

4 On the first day, Jonah started into the city. He announced, "In 40 days Nineveh will be destroyed."
