Jonah 3:5-9

New International Version

⁵The Ninevites believed God. A fast was proclaimed, and all of them, from the greatest to the least, put on sackcloth.^(A)

⁶When Jonah’s warning reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, took off his royal robes, covered himself with sackcloth and sat down in the dust.^(B) ⁷This is the proclamation he issued in Nineveh:

“By the decree of the king and his nobles:

Do not let people or animals, herds or flocks, taste anything; do not let them eat or drink.^(C) ⁸But let people and animals be covered with sackcloth. Let everyone call^(D) urgently on God. Let them give up^(E) their evil ways^(F) and their violence.^(G) ⁹Who knows?^(H) God may yet relent^(I) and with compassion turn^(J) from his fierce anger^(K) so that we will not perish.”
