Jonah 3
YHWH commands Jonah a second time to go to Nineveh and proclaim His message; Jonah obeys, enters the great city, and preaches, 'Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!' The people believe God, proclaim a fast, don sackcloth from greatest to least; the king decrees repentance, fasting for man and beast, turning from evil and violence, hoping God relents; seeing their works, God repents of the announced destruction and does not carry it out.[1][3]
