Jonah 3:1-4

1 et factum est verbum Domini ad Ionam secundo dicens

2 surge vade ad Nineven civitatem magnam et praedica in ea praedicationem quam ego loquor ad te

3 et surrexit Iona et abiit in Nineven iuxta verbum Domini et Nineve erat civitas magna Dei itinere dierum trium

4 et coepit Iona introire in civitatem itinere diei unius et clamavit et dixit adhuc quadraginta dies et Nineve subvertetur
