Jonah 3:1-4

MSG

NIV

1 Next, God spoke to Jonah a second time:
1 Then the word of the LORD came to Jonah a second time:
2 "Up on your feet and on your way to the big city of Nineveh! Preach to them. They're in a bad way and I can't ignore it any longer."
2 “Go to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message I give you.”
3 This time Jonah started off straight for Nineveh, obeying God's orders to the letter.
3 Jonah obeyed the word of the LORD and went to Nineveh. Now Nineveh was a very large city; it took three days to go through it.
4 Jonah entered the city, went one day's walk and preached, "In forty days Nineveh will be smashed."
4 Jonah began by going a day’s journey into the city, proclaiming, “Forty more days and Nineveh will be overthrown.”
