6
For wordcame unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
7
And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles,saying, Let neither man nor beast,herd nor flock,taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drinkwater:
8
But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and crymightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evilway, and from the violence that is in their hands.
10
And Godsaw their works, that they turned from their evilway; and Godrepented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.
