The word of the LORD comes to Jonah a second time, and now he obeys, going to Nineveh (“an exceedingly great city”) and proclaiming, “Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!” Astonishingly, the people believe God; they call a fast and put on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least. Even the king rises from his throne, covers himself with sackcloth, sits in ashes, and decrees that everyone turn from their evil ways and violence, hoping that God may relent. And God, seeing their repentance, relents from the disaster He had threatened and spares the city.
