Forty Days for Nineveh

1Then the word of Yahweh came to Jonah a second time, saying,

2Arise, go to Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim to it the proclamation that I speak to you.

3So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of Yahweh. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city before God, a journey of three days.

4Jonah began to go into the city a day's journey, and he cried out and said, “Yet forty days, and Nineveh will be overturned.”
