Jonah 3:6-10

⁶When word reached the king of Nineveh, he got up from his throne, took off his royal robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.

⁷Then he issued a proclamation in Nineveh: “By the decree of the king and his nobles: Let no man or beast, herd or flock, taste anything at all. They must not eat or drink.

⁸Furthermore, let both man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and have everyone call out earnestly to God. Let each one turn from his evil ways and from the violence in his hands.

⁹Who knows? God may turn and relent; He may turn from His fierce anger, so that we will not perish.”

¹⁰When God saw their actions — that they had turned from their evil ways — He relented from the disaster He had threatened to bring upon them.
