Jonah 3:5-7

Revised Geneva Translation

⁵ So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.

⁶ For Word came to the king of Nineveh. And he rose from his throne. And he laid his robe aside and covered himself with sackcloth and sat in ashes.

⁷ And he proclaimed and said through Nineveh, (by the counsel of the king and his nobles) saying, “Let neither man nor beast, bullock nor sheep, taste anything nor feed nor drink water.
